Queen of Argyll lyrics

Gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you of one beauty

Though, I'd ask of you a favour, oh'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 see her there, boys, if you had just been there

The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile

All the roses in the garden, they'd bow and 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 above them all for the splendour shone the Queen of all Argyll

So, my lads, I need must leave you, my intention's not to grieve you

Nor indeed would I deceive you, oh, I'll see you in a while

I must find a way to gain her, to court her and to claim her

I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyll

And if you could see her there, boys, if you had just been there

The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile

All the roses in the garden, they'd bow and ask her pardon

For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
