The Queen Of Argyll

Gentlemen it is me dutyTo inform you of one beautyThough I'd ask of you a favourNot to seek her for a whileThough I own she is a creatureOf character and featureNo words can paint the pictureOf the queen of all ArgyllChorusAnd if you could have seen her thereBoys, if you had just been thereThe swan was in her movementsAnd the marvel in her smileAll the roses in the gardenThey bow and ask her pardonFor not one could match the beautyOf the Queen of all ArgyllOn the evening that I mentionedI passed with light intentionThrough a part of our dear countryKnown for beauty and for styleIn the place of noble thinkersOf scholars and great drinkersBut above them all for splendourShone the Queen of all ArgyllChorus...So my lads I needs must leave youMy intentions no' to grieve youNor indeed would I deceive youOh I'll see you in a whileI must find some way to gain herTo court her and attain herI fear my heart's in dangerFrom the Queen of all ArgyllChorus (twice)
