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

Chorus:
     And if you could have seen the fair
     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 all would ask her pardon
     for not one could match the beauty
     of the Queen of all Argyle
 
 

     On the evening that I mention
     I passed with light intention
     through a part of our dear country
     known for beauty and for style
     being a place for noble thinkers
     of scholars and great drinkers
     but above of all the splendor shone
     the Queen of all Argyle

Chorus:
 

     So my lads I needs must leave you
     my intention's no' to grieve you
     nor indeed would I deceive you
     oh I'll see you in awhile
     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 Argyle

Chorus: X-2
