The Queen of Argyll

Gentlemen it is me duty

To inform you of one beauty

Though I'd ask of you a favour

Not 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 Chorus

And if you could have seen her there

Boys, if you had just been there

The swan was in her movements

And the marvel 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

In the place of noble thinkers

Of scholars and great drinkers

But above them all for splendour

Shone the

Queen of all

Argyll Chorus...

So my lads

I needs must leave you

My intentions 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 attain her

I fear my heart's in danger

From the Queen of all

Argyll Chorus (twice)
