The Queen Of Argyle Lyrics

Gentlemen, it is my duty
To inform you of one beauty
though I'd ask of you a favor no to seek her for a while
Though I own she is a creature
of character and feature
For no words can paint the picture of the Queen of all Argyle

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 bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle

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 a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor of the Queen of all Argyle

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 bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle

So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no to grieve you
Nor indeed would I decieve you, for I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and to tame her
For I fear, my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyle

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 bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle

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 bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty of the Queen of all Argyle
