It's actually borderline upsetting how unappreciated Paddy is, an absolute legend.

When Mary left her highland home And wandered forth with me The flowers be-decked the mountainside And fragrance filled the vale But by far the sweetest flower there Was the Rose of Allendale Oh the Rose of Allendale Sweet Rose of Allendale By far the sweetest flower there Was the Rose of Allendale Where e'er I wandered east or west Though fate began to lour A solace still was she to me In sorrow's lonely hour When tempests lashed our lonely barque And rent her quivering sail One maiden's form withstood the storm 'Twas the Rose of Allendale Oh sweet Rose of Allendale Sweet Rose of Allendale One maiden's form withstood the storm 'Twas the Rose of Allendale And when my fever'd lips were parched On Afric's burning sands She whispered hopes of happiness And tales of distant lands My life has been a wilderness Unblessed by fortune's wheel Had fate not linked my love to hers The Rose of Allendale Oh sweet Rose of Allendale Sweet Rose of Allendale Had fate not linked my love to hers The Rose of Allendale

We lost our family farm in the 68 drought, it was called Allendale.

Was your family originally from England?

Absolutely lovely

[@Fortuna_Magica]

This song as Paddy performs it touches me deeply, it makes me think of the wonderful blessing that god gave me in my girlfriend, when this song plays, a Grown man cries. But he cries for joy

Exellente voix accompagnant cette très belle chanson

How can you remember the lyrics of all these beautiful songs/stories!❤️🌻

[@Steamtramman719]

With no intention of being rude it was said to once (as part of a skiffle group) that 'it was our job to remember the lyrics and the tunes. More difficult for my wife for, as a lead singer, she also had the children at the back of her mind. It's why so many women singers abandon family life.
