Rose Of Allendale
Mary Black
The moon was bright, the night was clear
No breeze came over the sea
When mary left her highland home
And wandered forth with me
The flowers be-decked the mountainside
And fragrance filled the vale
But by far the sweetest flower there
Was the rose of allendale
Oh the rose of allendale
Sweet rose of allendale
By far the sweetest flower there
Was the rose of allendale
Where eer I wandered east or west
Though fate began to lour
A solace still was she to me
In sorrows lonely hour
When tempests lashed our lonely barque
And rent her quivering sail
One maidens form withstood the storm
twas the rose of allendale
Oh sweet rose of allendale
Sweet rose of allendale
One maidens form withstood the storm
twas the rose of allendale
And when my feverd lips were parched
On africs burning sands
She whispered hopes of happiness
And tales of distant lands
My life has been a wilderness
Unblessed by fortunes wheel
Had fate not linked my love to hers
The rose of allendale
Oh sweet rose of allendale
Sweet rose of allendale
Had fate not linked my love to hers
The rose of allendale
