Subject: Lyr Add: THE QUEEN OF ARGYLL
Here ye go again.
THE QUEEN OF ARGYLL
Gentlemen, it is my duty To inform you of one beauty Though I'd ask of you a favour Oh, to seek her for a while Though I own she is a creature Of character and feature No worse could paint the picture Of the queen of all Argyll
CHORUS: And if you could see 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'd bow and ask her pardon For not one could 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 Being a place of noble thinkers Of scholars and great drinkers But above them all for splendour Was the queen of all Argyll
And if you could ..
So my lads I need must leave you My intention's not to grieve you Nor indeed would I deceive you But I'll see you in a while I must find a way to gain her To court her and to tame her I fear my heart's in danger Of the queen of all Argyll
