Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Queen of Argyle
Gentlemen it is my duty
to inform you of one beauty,
Tho I ask from you a favor not to seek for a while.
Tho I own to here's a creature
of character and feature
For no one could paint the picture
of the Queen of Argyle.
Chorus:
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.
Oh, the roses in the garden
they bowed and asked for pardon
For not one could match the beauty
of the Queen of Argyle.
On the evening that I've mentioned
I passed with light intention
Thru a part of our dear country
known for beauty and for style.
In a place known for dangers
of scholars and great drinkers
But none could match the splendor
of the Queen of Argyle. Chorus
So my lads I needs must leave you
my intentions not to grieve you,
Nor indeed would I deceive
you for I'll see you in a while.
I must find a way to gain her
to court her and to tame her.
For I fear my heart's in danger
of the Queen of Argyle.
