Down to the Portland Lyrics

There's jazz and country and bluegrass too

Songs that are folk and songs that are blue

You can play the uke or blow the harp

Or do a floor spa to make a start

If you want good ale and music for free

The Portland Arms is the place to be

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, home of the song

There's Gary the Mod, Mr. Flegg the Ace, Pip from Watford and Pete the Face

Keith the picker sings Ralph McTell

That's OK, he does James Taylor as well

If you want good ale and music for free

The Portland Arms is the place to be

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, home of the song

Up gets Pat with his DADGAD licks

Don't tell him a secret, he'll write a song about it

Ray from Phoenix always sounds so fine

I've never seen his banjo but there's always time

If you want good ale and music for free

The Portland Arms is the place to be

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, home of the song

The Bojangles boys are so versatile

Dave plays bass and fiddle and mandolin with a smile

We've been a duo since late last summer

Since we dispensed with our flaky drummer

If you want good ale and music for free

The Portland Arms is the place to be

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, home of the song

The governor's Ken in this wonderful pub

Proud of his Pride and the gorgeous grub

It's an honest boozer, straight and true

Come on down cos there's a welcome for you

If you want good ale and music for free

The Portland Arms is the place to be

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, sing us a song

Come Sunday night, put your walking shoes on

Walk down to the Portland, sing us a song

Hey Ken - pint of Pride
