Queen of Argyll

Gentlemen it is my duty to inform you of one beauty
 Though I'd ask of you a favor 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
 Oh, 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 would bow and ask her pardon
 For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyll
 On that 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 splendor shone the Queen of all Argyll
 So my lads I needs must leave you, my intentions not 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 claim her
 I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyll
 Oh, 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 would bow and ask her pardon
 For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Ar-, Queen of all Ar-, Queen of all Argyll
