Standard (EADGBE)

Gentlemen it is me duty

 To inform you of one beauty

 Though I'd ask of you a favor

 Not to seek 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

Chorus

 And if you could have seen her there

Boys, if you had just been there

 The swan was in her movements

 And the marvel in her smile

 All the roses in the garden

 They bow and ask her pardon

 For 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

In the place of noble thinkers

Of scholars and great drinkers

But above them all for splendor

Shone the Queen of all Argyll

Chorus...

So my lads I needs must leave you

My intentions no' to grieve you

Nor indeed would I deceive you

Oh I'll see you in a while

I must find some way to gain her

To court her and to tame her

I fear my heart's in danger

From the Queen of all Argyll

Chorus
