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.

Oh the Rose of Allendale, sweet 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.

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;

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