[Chorus]
I was born in Portland town
I was born in Portland town
Yes I was, yes I was
Yes I was

[verse]
I was born in Portland town
Got married in Portland town
Yes I did, yes I did
Yes, I did

Got married in Portland town
Had children one, two, three
Yes I did, yes I did
Yes, I did

They sent them away to war
Ain't got no kids no more
No I ain't, no I ain't
No, I ain't

[Chorus]
I was born in Portland town
I was born in Portland town
Yes I was, yes I was
Yes, I was
