The Queen Of Argyll

Gentle men, it is my duty

To inform you of one beauty

Though I'd ask of you a favor:

Not to seek her for awhile

Though I own she is a creature

Of character and feature

No words could paint a picture of

The Queen of all Argyll

Chorus:

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 mentioned

I passed with light intention

Through a part of our dear country

Known for beauty and for style

It's raised some nobel thinkers

Scholars and great drinkers

But above them all for splendor shone

The Queen of all Argyll

(Chorus)

So my lads, I needs must leave you

My intention's not to grieve you

Nor indeed would I deceive you

Oh, I'll see you in awhile

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

(Chorus x2)
