The Corries - The Rose Of Allendale
Misc Traditional
As with every traditional song, there are many different versions of "The Rose Of Allendale" too.
Here I follow the version by The Corries.
They Play it with Capo on 7th fret, I usually play it with Capo on 3rd fret.

Oh Rose of Allendale, sweet Rose of Allendale 
One maidens form withstood the storm, 'twas the Rose of Allendale.

The morn was fair, the night was clear, no breath came over the sea 
When Mary left her highland home and wandered forth with me. 
Though flowers decked the mountainside and fragrance filled the vale, 
By far the sweetest flower there was the Rose of Allendale. 

'twas the Rose of Allendale, 'twas the Rose of Allendale 
By far the sweetest flower there was the Rose of Allendale. 

Where e'er I wandered east or west, though fate begins to lour, 
A solace still to me is she, in sorrows lonely hour. 
When tempests lashed our gallant barque and rent her shivering sails, 
One maidens form withstood the storm, 'twas the Rose of Allendale.

'twas the Rose of Allendale, 'twas the Rose of Allendale 
One maidens form withstood the storm, 'twas the Rose of Allendale. 

And when my fevered lips were parched by Afric's burning sands, 
She whispered hopes of happiness and tales of distant lands. 
My life had been a wilderness unblest by fortunes gale; 
Had fate not linked my love to hers, the Rose of Allendale

'twas the Rose of Allendale, 'twas the Rose of Allendale  
Had fate not linked my love to hers, the Rose of Allendale
