    Portumna
    Portumna Sons have travelled far
    to lands across the sea,
    And so we sing a message true wherever they may be.
    Their hearts will oft be yearning
    wherever they abide
    For home and their loved ones
    Along the Shannon side.
    So all you merry people
    who are listening to our song
    we hope you will join with us
    we will not keep you long.
    So help us with our message
    and we'll make the rafters ring
    Please join us in the chorus
    We would like you all to sing.
    Ch.
    Portumna, Portumna along the Shannon side.
