The Queen of Argyll lyrics

Gentle men it is my duty to inform you of one beauty

Though I'd ask you of a favour, no'to seek her for a while

Though I own she is a creature of character and feature

No words can 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 in the garden they bow and ask her pardon

For not one could match the beauty of the queen of all Argyll.

On the evening that I mention, I passed with light intention

Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style

Being a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers

But above them all for splendour shone the Queen of all Argyll

Now my lads my needs must leave you, my intention's no to grieve you

Nor indeed would I 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

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