Oh good folks it is my duty
Am Em
To inform you of one beauty

Not to seek her for a while

Though I own she is a creature

Of character and feature
Am Em
No words can paint the picture
Em Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll
[Chorus]
Am
And if you could have seen her (there)
Am G
Oh, if you had just been there
Am Em
The swan was in her movements
C Em
And the marvel in her smile

All the roses in the garden
Am G
They bow and ask her pardon

For not one could match the beauty
Em Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll

On the evening that I mentioned
Am Em
I passed with light intention
Am Em
Through a part of our dear country

Of scholars and great drinkers
Am
But above them all for splendour
Em Am
Shone the Queen of all Argyll

Oh, if you had just been there

The swan was in her movements

They bow and ask her pardon

To court her and to please her

I fear my heart's in danger
