Lyrics

I was born in Portland town, 
I was born in Portland town, 
Yes I was, yes I was, 
Yes, I was. 

I Got married in Portland town, 
Got married in Portland town, 
Yes I did, yes I did, 
Yes, I did. 

I Had children one, two, three, 
Had children one, two, three, 
Yes I did, yes I did, 
Yes, I did. 

They sent my children off to war, 
They sent my children off to war, 
No I ain't, no I ain't, 
No, I ain't. 

Now I ain't got no kids no more, 
I ain't got no kids no more, 
No, I don't. No, I don't.
No, I don't.

I was born in Portland town, 
I was born in Portland town, 
Yes I was, yes I was, 
Yes, I was.
