Queen Of Argyll Lyrics - Prime Cuts - Tempest

Gentlemen it is my duty 

To inform you of one beauty 

Though I'd ask of you a favour 

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 morning 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 splendour 

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 attain her 

I fear my heart's in danger 

From the Queen of all Argyll
