This song seems to suit Roy's voice maybe more than any other. Roy and Ronnie, the bohemian and the family man, the poet and the professional, in a match that produced such great work. Bravo to them both and we miss you Roy.

This live version is not on a CD. The studio-recorded version is on at least two of their CDs, and sounds very much like this but is a little different. When singing live, if you've noticed, Roy sometimes slightly changed the words. That doesn't matter at all here. I just find this,- as well as the one from the 1987 BBC series - which I have on DVD - more relaxed.

This one's on Years Must Roll On 1991 - BBCV4683 VHS which also has great Leezie Lindsay from same concert; I wish there were more and imagine there might be more from this concert hiding in people's taped collections (e.g., I just discovered "Lads Among Heather" song from 1976 Glasgow concert but missed on that same VHS).

Is it an English song? There is an Allandale in the highlands and the song has a line which goes "When Mary left her highland hut" Sounds Scots to me

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 . Wikipedia

@GRB01 I've heard people say that before but to me it just doesn't make sense. Mary left her heiland cot and wandered forth with me, flowers decked the mountainside etc but by far the fairest flower was the Rose of Allendale. For me the song is obviously about Mary being the said rose. In the second verse yes he's on a ship in stormy seas and in the third the desert - and what keeps him going is the thought of Mary!

@orac100 You are right in that Allandale is the earliest spelling of it but Allendale has been used also from a very early date. I think maybe because it was written by an Englishman many folk think it is about Allendale in Northumberland rather than one of the Scottish Allandales - hence they spell it Allendale. But the Northumberland village has used both spellings in the past anyway :-)

@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!

High time someone put these on here. I have all their tapes.I checked for them before but ,alas, they were not here. I love the fingering of Roy on the guitar particularly: I like to put the balance in favour of one speaker so Ronnie's voice is slightly quieter and I can hear Roy's guitar more clearly: Barrat's Privateers is a great song to do this on.

I wonder why no one can leave comments on "Bonnie Dundee". Is it because too many people know him as "Bloody Clavers"? That is what he was, a murderer of the Covenanters. Long Live Richard Cameron
