So here I am doing my best 'worst' Irish (I think) accent! :P

I'm a bit dubious about even associating this cover with Mary Black... man, I just listened again to her voice... and now I remember why I love this song so much.

I don't think I ever came across a consistent set of lyrics for this particular song, so my choices may be slightly different than ones you've heard. I'm interested in hearing what the story is behind the song. I remember reading once that the Rose of Allendale was believed to be the figurehead of a sailing ship, so that's the image I see when I try to sing this song.

  • Hi Stacey, having subscrided to your self, i like your version of the rose of allandale...but i must point out that the song is neither ... irish or scottish balled , i being scottish thought it was a scottish song but about a maiden from northumberland england , from the 1800`s .. i must put on my own version later on, you can check out my other songs if you like,,BOABSTAR58..and tell me what you think...keep on posting x

  • Hey there! Thanks for the information! I'm happy to be corrected. I'll look forward to your version! Best wishes!
