The sky was clear, the morning fair
A
No breath came over the sea
D

D
When Mary left her highland home
A
D
And wandered forth with me
G
D
Though flowers bedecked the mountain side
A
And fragrance filled the vale
D
G
D
By far the sweetest flower there
A
D
Was the rose of Allendale
D

Sweet rose of Allendale,

Sweet rose of Allendale

Wherever I wandered, through the east or to thewest
A
Though fate began to sour

A solace still was she to me
A
D
In sorrow’s lonely hour
G

When tempests lashed our lonely barque
A
And rent her shiv’ring sails
D

One maiden form withstood the storm
A

Was the rose of Allendale

Sweet rose of Allendale,

Sweet rose of Allendale

One maiden’s form withstood the storm

was the rose of Allendale

And when my fever’d lips were parched
A
On Africa’s burning sands
D
G

She whispered hopes of happiness
A
D
And dreams of foreign land
G

My life has been a wilderness
A
Unblest by fortune’s gale
D

Had fate not linked my lot to hers
G

the Rose of Allendale

Sweet rose of Allendale,
