The Rose Of Allendale Chords & Lyrics - Misc Traditional - The Corries

[REFRAIN]

Oh [C]Rose of Allend[F]ale, sweet Rose of Allend[G7]ale
One [C]maidens form withs[F]tood the [C]storm, 'twas the [F]Rose of [G7]Allend[C]ale.

[VERSE]

The [C]morn was fair, the [F]night was [C]clear, no breath came over the [G7]sea
When [C]Mary left her [F]highland [C]home and [F]wandered [G7]forth with [C]me.
Though [G7]flowers decked the [C]mountainside and [F]fragrance [C]filled the [G7]vale,
By [C]far the sweetest [F]flower [C]there was the [F]Rose of [G7]Allend[C]ale.

[REFRAIN]

'twas the [C]Rose of Allend[F]ale, 'twas the Rose of Allend[G7]ale
By [C]far the sweetest [F]flower [C]there was the [F]Rose of [G7]Allend[C]ale.

[VERSE]

Where [C]e'er I wandered [F]east or [C]west, though fate begins to [G7]lour,
A [C]solace still to [F]me is s[C]he, in [F]sorrows [G7]lonely [C]hour.
When [G7]tempests lashed our [C]gallant barque and [F]rent her [C]shivering [G7]sails,
One [C]maidens form withs[F]tood the [C]storm, 'twas the [F]Rose of [G7]Allend[C]ale.

[REFRAIN]

'twas the [C]Rose of Allend[F]ale, 'twas the Rose of Allend[G7]ale
One [C]maidens form withs[F]tood the [C]storm, 'twas the [F]Rose of [G7]Allend[C]ale.

[VERSE]

And [C]when my fevered [F]lips were [C]parched by Afric's burning [G7]sands,
She [C]whispered hopes of [F]happi[C]ness and [F]tales of [G7]distant [C]lands.
My [G7]life had been a [C]wilderness unbl[F]est by [C]fortunes [G7]gale;
Had [C]fate not linked my [F]love to [C]hers, the R[F]ose of [G7]Allend[C]ale

[REFRAIN]

'twas the [C]Rose of Allend[F]ale, 'twas the Rose of Allend[G7]ale
Had [C]fate not linked my [F]love to [C]hers, the R[F]ose of [G7]Allend[C]ale
