   C             F                        G7 
Oh Rose of Allendale, sweet Rose of Allendale

     C             F        C        F        G7         C

Where e'er I wandered east or west, though fate begins to lour,

A solace still to me is she, in sorrows lonely hour.

She whispered hopes of happiness and tales of distant lands.

My life had been a wilderness unblest by fortunes gale;
