The morn was fair the skies were clear,
D#
no breath came o'er the sea,
G#   G#7      Db       G#
When Mary left her highland home,
D#         G#
and wandered forth with me,
D#         G#
The flowers decked the mountainside
D#
and fragrance filled the vale,

By far the sweetest flower there,
D#   G#
was the Rose of Allendale

Verse:
Where'er I wandered, east or west
Tho' fate began to lour
A solace still was she to me
In sorrows lonely hour
When tempests lash'd our gallant bark
And rent her shiv'ring sail
One maiden form withstood the storm
was the Rose of Allandale

Refrein
Sweet Rose of Allendale,
Sweet Rose of Allendale
One maden forn white stood the storm
was the Rose of Allendale

Verse:
A       A7      D         A
And when my fever'd lips were parched
E
On burning Afric's sands
A         A7       D    A
She whispered hopes of happiness
E       A
And tales of distant lands
E      A
My life has been a wild'erness
E
Unblest by fortunes gale
A        A7        D      A
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
E    A
The Rose of Allandale
