[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
          C            D
T'was the Rose of Allendale
    C               G
One maiden form withstood the storm
        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale

[Verse 1]
    G                  C          G
The morn was fair, the skies were clear
   G                    D
No breath came o'er the sea
     G             C        G
When Mary left her highland cot
    C        D          G
And wandered forth with me
       D                  G
Though flowers decked the mountainside
    C         G          D
and fragrance filled the vale
   G                C      G
By far the sweetest flower there
        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale

[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
          C            D
T'was the Rose of Allendale
    C               G
One maiden form withstood the storm
        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale

[Verse 2]
     G               C       G
Where'er I wandered, east or west
     G              D
Tho' fate begins to lour
  G               C      G
A solace still is she to me
   C        D      G
In sorrow's lonely hour
     D                   G
When tempests lashed our gallant barque
    C        G         D
And rent her shiv'ring sails
    G               C         G
One maiden form withstood the storm
    C       D    G
The Rose of Allendale

[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
    C               G
One maiden form withstood the storm
          C       D    G
T'was the Rose of Allendale

[Verse 3]
    G               C         G
And when my fever'd lips were parched
   G               D
By Afric's burning strand
    G                  C    G
She whispered hopes of happiness
    C        D       G
And tales of distant lands
   D               G
My life has been a wilderness
  C        G         D
Unblest by fortune's gale
    G                  C      G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
    C       D    G
The Rose of Allendale

[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
    C                  G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
          C       D    G
T'was the Rose of Allendale

[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
    C                  G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
          C       D    G   C G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
