The Queen of All 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 awhile.
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 her there,
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement and the morning in her smile.
All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask our pardon
For not one can match the beauty of the queen of all Argyll.
On the evening that I mention
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style.
'Tis a place of noble thinkers
Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor shone the queen of all Argyll.
Repeat Chorus
So my lads I needs must leave you
My intention's not to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you;
oh, I'll see you in awhile
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!
