Queen Of Argyll

[Am]Gentlemen it is me d[Em]uty
To in[Am]form you of one be[Em]auty
Though I'd [Am]ask of you a f[Em]avor
Not to se[C]ek her f[G]or a wh[Em]ile
Though I [Am]own she is a cre[Em]ature
Of cha[Am]racter and fe[Em]ature
No wo[Am]rds can paint the pi[Em]cture
Of the qu[C]een of a[G]ll Ar[Am]gyll

And if y[Am]ou could have s[Em]een her there
[Am]Boys, if you had j[Em]ust been th[G]ere
The s[Am]wan was in her mov[Em]ements
And the m[C]arvel [G]in her sm[Em]ile
All the ro[Am]ses in the gar[Em]den
They b[Am]ow and ask her p[Em]ardon
For not o[Am]ne could match the b[Em]eauty
Of the Qu[C]een of a[G]ll Ar[Am]gyll

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
