Gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you of one beauty
Though, I'd asked of you a favour, not to seek her for a while
Though, I own she is a creature of character and feature
No words could paint the picture of the Queen of all Argyll
And if you could have seen her there, boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses of the garden, they'd bow to ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
On the evening that I mentioned, I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
‘Tis a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But none could match the splendour of the Queen of all Argyll
And if you could have seen her there, boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses of the garden, they'd bow to ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
Now, my lads I needs must leave you, my intention's not to grieve you
Nor would I 'er deceive you, oh, I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her, to court her and to tame her
For I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyll
And if you could have seen her there, boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses of the garden, they'd bow to ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
And if you could have seen her there, boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile
All the roses of the garden, they'd bow to ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
