Thread Name: Lyr Req: Queen of All Argyll
Subject: Lyrics to Queen of all Argyll
Does anybody know the lyrics to the Silly Wizard song "Queen of all Argyll"? I have heard this song sung for heaven only knows how long around campfires and Bardic Circles (I belong to the Society for Creative Anachron- ism, a non-profit, educational organisation devoted to the study and re-creation of the Middle Ages). This tune is hugely popular in our organisation, even though it is not a period mediaeval tune. It still expresses a certain sentiment that is somewhat period, not to mention that any Celtic music, be it the Clancy's or Silly Wizard, is very popular and sung at our gatherings. Steeleye Span is also very popular as well. I just saw Andy M. Stewart in concert with Seamus Egan and Nightnoise and I didn't know that Andy M. Stewart wrote the song "Queen of all Argyll" E-mail me the lyrics if you know them, please! Thanks!
