This was my dad's favourite song. I sang it to him as he passed away, holding my hand about a year and a half ago. One of his oldest pals who is a fairly well known musician played it at his funeral too. I'm listening to it now on Father's Day with tears streaming down my face
It was my Dad’s favourite too. He died last year. 3 out of his 4 kids grew up playing in a pipe band & it was one of the bands core tunes to play anywhere & everywhere. I used to love it; I still do but it’s changed. A friend played this on the bagpipes at his funeral, so every time I hear it now, it’s bittersweet.
This wasn't one of my dad's specific favourites, nor mine, but I put it on for him while he was dying from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome. He was so in and out of lucidity at that point, but he suddenly turned and touched my face with the most wondrous expression, as if he suddenly remembered everything. It was all too much for him and he cried. I'm now here listening to it on the 4th anniversary of his death, and I'm holding your hand in my head x
@@grahamgardner2816 my tears were only happy tears. Glad for all the years I had with my father and honoured that I saw him through to the other side ❤️
Oh you are so right Belg.....I was lucky enough to have seen them in London ....a long time ago....I shall never forget their concert and I have been a mad keen folkie ever since...
In the late 60s I was house manager at the Odeon Movie Theatre in Edinburgh. During the annual Edinburgh Festival, after the movies had closed for the night, The Corries and some of their friends would put on a folk concert that was always well attended. The best part was when their show ended we would all go back stage and there would be a jam session to end all jam sessions. It was usual for me to get home about 2 or 3 am in the morning, Great memories of a great time and remembering these two wonderful entertainers and their friends. I was deeply saddened by Roy's death, he was a great musician and his legacy of "Flower of Scotland " will last a long long time I am sure.
I asked for a Corries cassette when I was about 12 years old for my xmas after seeing them on the telly. Ma maw n Dad were in shock. I'm 34 now and still love them. Folk music has to be the best category of music. Quality

A real blast from the past..... I watched this back in 1987 when it was first released. Managed to see them in concert in 1988 before Roy's untimely death.... The Corries' music has been a part of me all my life, 52 year old, "exiled" in Wales and still on my playlist as I run to work. Music for the ages indeed.. Thank you for posting! Rob
we used to go to the royal jubilee arms hotel at dykehead nr kirriemuir and watch them live in the early 70,s did not realise the talent we were seeing just fantastic
Crap! You stole what i was going to say...you are 32 now... hope you feel same! I saw these guys in 1970...still love them, the music and my Scots heritage. Love
Just so brilliant! Totally live with basic sound system. No post-production, vocorders or computerised re-mixes. Live music at its absolute best! Love Free! Love and peace.
Love this song and nobody does it better than the Corries, but then they are singing legends and like all legends their music will go on forever. So glad I was part of that era and went to their concerts whenever I could..
Too right mate. I went to see them at the Cragburn Pavilion in Gourock probably more than 50 years ago and I still have in my possession a signed photograph of them I got on that night.
Gawds I wish they were still aroound. Picked up an LP in 1968; over 50 years! and learned 1/2 of the songs at least. That was titled 'The Corrie Folk Trio with Paddie Bell' Her vocals were nice too.
always loved the corries and was lucky enough to meet them back i n the later 70's through an older friend of mine who had been their roadie for a time at the end of the 60's, i saw it as an honour to meet the man who wrote our national anthem, roy died on 12th aug 1990 so never got to see a full hampden or murrayfield sing it as there is nothing like that experience, i don't mind admitting that i can't get through it without choking up at the sound of 50,000 voices but i wish they'd get a version of the music which is the same tempo as the crowd, even ronnie browne when he leads the chorus before internationals is slower than the crowd, their tempo never changes from game to game so it shouldn't be hard. i texted my daughter the clip of them performing the portree kid which i saw them perform on tv long before VHS or the internet, back when there were only three channels. as long as scotland takes part in international sports roy williamson will never die. my son was born on 12th aug 1992 and it saddens me thatt the first music he heard as he entered the world was a radio in the delivery suite playing billy ray cyrus achy breaky heart. he was soon weaned onto good music and loved bouncing up and down to the ramones and tom petty and by the time he reached his teens he was a drummer in the school pipeband winning the world title in 2005 & 06, not just the world title but the scottish, british and european titles in 05.
I played in one of Scotlands top folk bands for years and was a Corries fan for years went to gigs , had conversation with Ronnie at his house on Bohdrans and I can say without hesitation they were the best that SCOTLAND had to offer from the early days when there were four . VERY SADLY MISSED ,but will never be forgotten .
The English song lyrics are about a maiden from the town of Allendale, Northumberland (in love songs, a rose, regarded as a beautiful and romantic flower, is often the fairest maiden of a region or village
If you want to hear this sung in the open air by a large crowd, go to Langholm Common Rding on the Last Friday of July. It is one of the tunes of the morning part of the day.

To Andy Allan: Thanks for your comments which I know I must regard. I remember that, when I was younger in the 20s years old, I asked my father what music in the world would be most beautiful, and he said Irish, Scottish and English would be the best . I'm glad that I share the same choice with him who's now in heaven. T.Hashimoto(kentuckfolk).
more likely he was a collector of songs to publish rather than writing them as the english have very little in the way of folk music when compared to the scots and irish
@@morrisshaw What an utterly ignorant comment. Guess where the following folk songs originated: The Wild Rover The Black Velvet Band The Jug of Punch The Blacksmith The Unquiet Grave Barbara Allen Geordie Jack Hall / Sam Hall The Dark Eyed Sailor The Foggy Dew The tune to 'The Star of the County Down'. All to be found on UA-cam played by Scots or Irish musicians. A Clue. They are not Scottish or Irish. And there is no doubt that The Rose of Allendale is an English parlour song (not a folk song) written by Charles Jefferys and set to music by Sidney Nelson in 1836.
Just really enjoying this beautiful Scottish music, we're all surely allowed to do that without all the haters and folk with issues to comment so much, I'm very Scottish and proud. I'm very British too and equaly proud, its a real perk since we live in the best land together! Time to acknowledge what we all mean to each other instead of the infantile seperatist shield banging that belongs in the 1300's!
Allendale is also a village near Falkirk so perhaps u can understand the confusion. It certainly would have simplified the matter if the composer had specified the exact location. ie sweet rose of allendale ( nearer to Durham )or mary left her hieland cot( near to ? ) at least theres no mistery in your mind.
I completely agree to Henbroon78's comment, I'm an enthusiastic fan of Irish Folk Music from Japan. Irish music carries a noble spirit in it I do feel so. T.Hashimoto(kentuckfolk). Thanks to The Corries.
This is not Irish Folk music, its Scots (Scottish). But having pointed that out the folk music from the two countries has the same roots. Saw the Corries many times in the 1960's and 1970's.
"The Rose of Allendale" is an English song, with words by Charles Jefferys 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 a (traditional) Irish song. Sometimes it is also believed to be a Scottish song.
They are singing about "Allendale", Northumberland, which in history had changed sovereignty between Scotland and England and many residents are and were ethnic Scots. Not "Allandale", Falkirk.
They seem to be playing it in the Key of G major, so I'm trying to follow them on my piano - not easy, but such a delightful tune is worth the effort. Was this filmed in TV studios in Edinburgh ?
The Corries are Scottish legends about to have their dreams come true . Scotland will be free , by the Sovereign will of the Scottish people . Roll on May . We are coming to help ourselves. At long last .
The Rose is Risen, - The Flower of Scotland,- Rise and be a Nation again-- Sit still in your bed- stay silent, stay still, just sleep be still, my nation, my people, my heart and my people, my family, my home i am not dead, but you are dead you think you are awake, but you are dead You are silent and stilll, you bed is the thorns of the petals of roses of lies, be silent, be still, did you feel the rose petals or the thorns? i will live and and not die, but my nation will you die to live, or will you die to death, the comfort of the thorny petals. Give God all the praise and glory -- GOD is not so small, but greater, far greater than all, he has commanded and ordered all things, past, present and future, not so small, but greater, far greater than all. he word has commanded, and all has been ordered and placed in order, everything is done, it has been comepleted and fulfilled, walk the line, the broad line, or just the iine, walk in faith.
To captaincondor2010: Thanks for comments. No doubt the music is one of the most powerful medium to bring friendship and love among people across the lands,oceans and religions. I do hope this works really effective. T.Hashimoto(kentuckfolk)
The small village between Falkirk and Cumbernauld is however spelt Allandale - there is a Wikipedia entry and an OS Grid reference NS799 787. Occam's Razor shows that this is a more likely setting than a place in Northumberland. Can anyone trace the German origins of this tune, please ?
I keep seeing all these videos from this beautiful concert. Where can I find a recording of the whole show? I will buy a DVD if I have to. It's such beautiful music in such a beautiful setting.
To rojblake82:From point of folk music, I prefer Scottland and Ireland to England.There must have existed many conflicts among these countries for long long years. Are some healed yet? I love all the folk music there and sometimes I wear a kilt to put myself in something Scottish and like to hear and watch bagpipe and dance. I hope everything move well there. Will you try play my video 'Rose of Allendale' Thanks, T.Hashimoto(kentuckfolk)
pat newton not sure about the details of the song or where it is written about but it's not the only Allendale. There is also a village in Scotland with that name.
The scots are the happiest of humans! Is it the strong water they drink? Coming from the old volcanoes who came drifting from the Atlantic ocean and crushed into Old England sending a stream of wild Picts who used to plunder the humble english ladies in their rose gardens.

Whiskey is volcanic for sure, making your throat glow!
it's a shame. they're all dead now. theyd get together in parties and sing and be happy the old songs. people are hollow and plastic now and soulless compared to my dads generation
It was written by two Londoners in the 1830s. Charles Jefferys and Sidney Nelson. That is known for sure so it is an English song. Where it is supposed to be about is less certain though most agree it is about a lass from Allendale in Northumbria. Jefferys did write other songs that sound Scottish mind like "Bonnie Mary of Argyle". Use of the word highland doesn't prove it is about Scotland though as various English sources call the English border counties by the name highlands. It was not unusual.
Wikipedia: "The Rose of Allendale" is an English song, with words by Charles Jefferys and music by Sidney Nelson, composed in the 1830s and appearing in Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine in 1833. Because the song has been recorded by Paddy Reilly and Mary Black (1983), many people mistakenly believe the song to be a (traditional) Irish song. It is also often believed to be a Scottish song.

I am envious, would have loved to see them play in person.
I love Scottish and Irish folk music. Very beautiful music. Such talented people. People of art.
The Corries are great but it's an English song, Allendale's in England.
It was written in 1836 by Charles Jefferys and Sidney Nelson as an English parlour song.
I still love this. But why wouldn't I? The Corries are timeless.

Charles Jefferys (11 January 1807 - 9 June 1865, London) was an English music publisher and composer of songs.
more likely he was a collector of songs to publish rather than writing them as the english have very little in the way of folk music when compared to the scots and irish

The Unquiet Grave
Barbara Allen

The Dark Eyed Sailor
The Foggy Dew
The tune to 'The Star of the County Down'.

in something Scottish and like to hear and watch bagpipe and dance. I hope everything move well there. Will you try play my video 'Rose of Allendale' Thanks, T.Hashimoto(kentuckfolk)
also the corries
good man yourself
Holy crap, might just have commented on the wrong song! Please ignore previous post! I also love the Corries!
Would it be possible for you to post the whole show???
Sorry if I seem like a pernickety smerty pants. It is a wonderful song in any case.
Sorry to disappoint but this is a Northumbrian song but beautifully done,the only allendale is in Northumberland
pat newton not sure about the details of the song or where it is written about but it's not the only Allendale. There is also a village in Scotland with that name.

The scots are the happiest of humans! Is it the strong water they drink? Coming from the old volcanoes who came drifting from the Atlantic ocean and crushed into Old England sending a stream of wild Picts who used to plunder the humble english ladies in their rose gardens.
I love my scottish teacher Dagmar Thorburn who took care of us children in first and second class. The Thorburns and Mac Fies were wonderful families who came to our town Oddevald or Uddevalla as it was called when the swedes qonquered it 1658.
It's called the water of life.

it's a shame. they're all dead now. theyd get together in parties and sing and be happy the old songs. people are hollow and plastic now and soulless compared to my dads generation
this is not a scottish song. its from northumberland.
Actually, it was written and published in London, so not Northumbrian. But, you are correct that it is also not Scottish in origin either.

Its a Scots song plain and simple
Mary did not leave her "hieland hut" in England
It was written by two Londoners in the 1830s. Charles Jefferys and Sidney Nelson. That is known for sure so it is an English song. Where it is supposed to be about is less certain though most agree it is about a lass from Allendale in Northumbria. Jefferys did write other songs that sound Scottish mind like "Bonnie Mary of Argyle". Use of the word highland doesn't prove it is about Scotland though as various English sources call the English border counties by the name highlands. It was not unusual.
Wikipedia: "The Rose of Allendale" is an English song, with words by Charles Jefferys and music by Sidney Nelson, composed in the 1830s and appearing in Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine in 1833. Because the song has been recorded by Paddy Reilly and Mary Black (1983), many people mistakenly believe the song to be a (traditional) Irish song. It is also often believed to be a Scottish song.
@@mheegen So to be a Scots song it has to written in Scotland LMFAO
So every song that discribes Alba and Albion has to penned there LOL
Our greatest export is music and people
@@ScotsLyon Danny Boy was also written by an Englishman, and reveal an empathy for what it means to be Irish.
Could smell the sweit fae his oxsters... fae here..at jumpers were stink traps....
Dubliners are better by far
Not in this life time!
What!? Yeah,The Dubliners were great, sure, but so were Roy and Ronnie, The Corrie's. Who would disagree? Wish they both were still with us.
no chance. Roy's voice was perfect for this song
Why not enjoy all of it
