The moon was bright, the night was clear, no breeze came over the sea  
 G                 C        G            C     D         G  
When Mary left her highland home and wandered forth with me.  
       G                  C                G                    D 
The flowers bedecked the mountainside and fragrance filled the vale,  
       G                C      G              C      D    G  
But by far the sweetest flower there was the Rose of Allendale.  
  
G C Am D Oh the Rose of Allendale, sweet Rose of Allendale G C G C D G By far the sweetest flower there was the Rose of Allendale
G C G D Where e'er I wandered east or west, though fate began to lour, G C G C D G A solace still to me was she, in sorrows lonely hour. G C G D When tempests lashed our gallant barque and rent her quivering sails, G C G C D G One maidens form withstood the storm, twas the Rose of Allendale.
G C Am D Oh the Rose of Allendale, sweet Rose of Allendale G C G C D G One maidens form withstood the storm, twas the Rose of Allendale.
G C G D And when my fevered lips were parched on Afric's burning sands, G C G C D G She whispered hopes of happiness and tales of distant lands. G C G D My life has been a wilderness unblest by fortunes gale; G C G C D G Had fate not linked my love to hers, the Rose of Allendale
G C Am D Oh the Rose of Allendale, sweet Rose of Allendale G C G C D G Had fate not linked my love to hers, the Rose of Allendale
