Capo 2nd fret.
Intro; [] [] [] [] [] []
[] Gentlemen, it is my duty
to inform you of one beauty,
Though I ll [] ask of you a favor
no to [] seek her for a while;
For though I [] know she is a creature
of character and feature,
And no [] words can paint the [] picture
of the Queen of [] old [] 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 [] marvel in her smile;
All the [] roses in the garden,
they will bow and ask her pardon,
For not [] one can match the [] beauty
of the Queen of [] old [] Argyle.
On that [] evening that I mentioned,
I passed with light intention,
Through a [] part of our dear country
known for [] beauty and for style,
In a place of [] noble thinkers,
of scholars and great drinkers,
But [] none could match the [] splendor
of the Queen of [] all [] 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 [] marvel in her smile;
All the [] roses in the garden,
they will bow and ask her pardon,
For not [] one can match the [] beauty
of the Queen of [] old [] Argyle.
Now lads, [] well I must leave you,
my intention s not to grieve you,
Nor [] for need would I deceive you oh,
for I ll [] see you in a while;
Well I must [] find some way to gain heart,
to court her and to tame her,
For [] I fear my heart s in [] danger
from the Queen of [] all [] 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 [] marvel in her smile;
All the [] roses in the garden,
they will bow and ask her pardon,
For not [] one can match the [] beauty
of the Queen of [] old [] Argyle.
