I always sing quines, rather than queens, which is a form of address in the north east of Scotland, where you can go from being a young quine, to an old wifie.
The words used in other verses, like 'pullin' and shawin' and liftin'' are Scots words, and I always picture this as set in the north east, anywhere from Blairgowrie to Buckie.

Shawing is cutting the 'shaws' ot green tops off turnips and potatoes.
In the days of hand harvesting of potatoes, a fork or 'graip' was pushed under the whole plant and the shaw was grasped with one hand, and the the other hand pushed down on the handle of the graip. This lifted the whole lot up to the surface, and a lot of the potatoes would remain attached to the shaws.
Ergo, 'Pulling and shawing and lifting'
