lyrics

Gentlemen it is me duty
To inform you of one beauty
Though I'd ask of you a favor
No to see 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

And if you could have seen the fair
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement
Morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
Would bow and ask her pardon
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
Being a place of noble thinkers
scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour
Shone the Queen of all Argyll

So me lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
For 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
