  • Both versions are wonderful - it's a beautiful song. can you tell me where it relates to. We have an Allendale in Northumberland but the song is claimed as both Irish and Scots - I'd like to believe it's based on the Northumberland Allendale.

    Cheers

  • @Blacksmiths1675 Hi John, it was written by Charles Jeffreys and the music by Sidney Nelson in the 1840s. It is a village in Northumberland.

  • @R3o3m3a3n3y Thanks for this information

  • @breffnipark Nice song

  • This was a major hit when I was in Ireland last. It took me the better part of a day, but I got the last 45 available in Dublin. I love Mary 'Black.

  • @machree01 this version is very good - the best is Sean Cannon and the Dubliners - the worst i heard is Paddy Reillys version - he is singing it as he he is singing all his songs - no soul just something that must be done

  • I love a good con-TROV-ersey. smile

    Which is it? Irish or Scotish?

    And who wrote, where and when?

    Just asking.

    A beautiful, pure voice is beautiful and pure no matter

    who sings what.

    Today there is just too much noise piled onto the voice,

    which ought to be the primary thing heard, unless you're

    a symphony orchestra, not a choir.

  • there are many lovely versons of this song - my vote goes to Mary

  • 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.

    .

  • i dont want to take anything from paddy reilly - but mary's version in my favourite - its probably my favourite mary black song

  • for some reason lida ronstreae is claining words.

  • I was always led to believe,as a little Irish boy many years ago, that it is a reference to Irish politician Charles Stewart Parnell(late 19th.Century).
