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 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
Bein’ the place of noble thinkers Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour Shone the Queen of all Argyll
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 ArgyllÂ
