I love this song too .
Roy was a writer , a player and and a singer.
Not to mention a romantic.
Truly one of the greatest unsung heroes of Scottish folk music.
Maybe in years to come we could honour him in some way ?

@R3o3m3a3n3y The song is English but there is no evidence that the Allendale referred too is the one in Northumberland. It could be but there are two places in Scotland called that too. The writers wrote other pseudo-Scottish songs. Others suggest the song is about a ship but who knows. The first verse certainly sounds like it is definitely about a woman!

The Rose of Allendale" is an English song, with words by Charles Jeffreys and music by Sidney Nelson, composed in the 1840s. Because the song has been recorded by Paddy Reilly and Mary Black, many people mistakenly believe the song to be an Irish song. Sometimes it is also believed to be a Scottish song.
The English song lyrics are about a maiden from the town of Allendale, Northumberland .

The spelling should be Allandale as per the original sheet music of 1835. Allendale is in England. Its good to hear it sung in 4/4 time as it should be with the correct tune. Too many songs seem to migrate into a mushy waltz and end up sounding like a naff C&W song.
