    The church where I married my late husband had 2 aisles rather than a single in the center so we decided to have 2 processions, one for him and one for me. This song was his processional for our wedding. It was a special moment and every time I hear this song it brings back that memory. Thanks for posting this.

    Gentlemen it is me 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
    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 of the garden
    Theyd bow to 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
    ‘Tis a place of noble thinkers
    Of scholars and great drinkers
    But none could match the splendour
    Of the Queen of all Argyll
    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 of the garden
    Theyd bow to ask her pardon
    For not one could match the beauty
    Of the Queen of all Argyll
    So my lads I needs must leave you
    My intentions not to grieve you
    Nor indeed would I ‘er deceive you
    Oh I'll see you in a while
    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 Argyll
    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 of the garden
    Theyd bow to ask her pardon
    For not one could match the beauty
    Of the Queen of all Argyll
    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 of the garden
    Theyd bow to ask her pardon
    For not one could match the beauty
    Of the Queen of all Argyll

    A version of the lyrics made by myself and a good friend, "The King of Argyle."
    Fair Maidens it is me duty
    To inform you of one beauty.
    Though I'd ask of you a favor
    Not to seek him for a while.
    For I own he is a creature
    Of character and feature,
    No words could paint a picture
    Of the King of all Argyle
    (Chorus)
    And if you could have seen him there,
    Girls if you had just been there
    The sea was in his heartbeat
    And the morning in his smile.
    All the stars up in the night sky,
    They dimmed for they became shy
    For none could shine as brightly
    As the King 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.
    Tis a place of noble thinkers,
    Of scholars and big drinkers,
    But none could match the splendor
    Of the King of all Argyle
    (Chorus)
    Now ladies I needs must leave you,
    My intentions not to grieve you,
    Nor would I e'er deceive you,
    For I'll see you in a while.
    I must find some way to lay him,
    To court him and to tame him,
    I fear my heart's in danger
    From the King of all Argyle.
    (Chorus X2)
    What do you think? It does remain close to this song.

    This version is awesome and gives some good ideas for vocal harmonies. I do think it sticks too much in that minor tonic though. The original uses the major 6th and 7th in the second half for dramatic effect, and I think that is really important and also makes it feel less depressing

    ATENCIÓN, OYENTES EN ESPAÑOL.
    He traducido y adaptado la letra de esta canción. No soy ninguna experta, así que, si encontráis algún error, no dudéis en decírmelo.
    Caballeros, es mi obligación
    Informaros de una belleza,
    Sin embargo os pediré un favor:
    No buscarla por mucho tiempo.
    Aunque confieso que ella es una criatura
    De naturaleza y carácter.
    No hay palabras que puedan describir
    A la Reina de todo Argyll.
    Y si hubierais podido verla ahí,
    Chicos, si sólo hubierais estado allí;
    El cisne estaba en sus movimientos
    Y la mañana en su sonrisa.
    Todas las rosas del jardín
    Se inclinan y piden perdón
    Por no poder ninguna igualar la belleza
    De la Reina de todo Argyll.
    En la noche que mencioné
    Pasé con intención ligera
    Por una zona de nuestro querida región
    Conocida por su belleza y su clase.
    Siendo un lugar de novedosos pensadores,
    De eruditos y grandes pensadores,
    Pero todos son superados por el esplendor desprendido
    Por la Reina de todo Argyll.
    Y si hubierais podido verla ahí,
    Chicos, si sólo hubierais estado allí;
    El cisne estaba en sus movimientos
    Y la mañana en su sonrisa.
    Todas las rosas del jardín
    Se inclinan y piden perdón
    Por no poder ninguna igualar la belleza
    De la Reina de todo Argyll.
    Así que, mis amigos, debo dejaros,
    Mis intenciones no son apenaros.
    En verdad no os engaño,
    Oh, os veré un rato.
    Debo encontrar un camino para adelantarla,
    Para cortejarla y conquistarla.
    Me temo que mi corazón está en peligro por
    La Reina de todo Argyll.
    Y si hubierais podido verla ahí,
    Chicos, si sólo hubierais estado allí;
    El cisne estaba en sus movimientos
    Y la mañana en su sonrisa.
    Todas las rosas del jardín
    Se inclinan y piden perdón
    Por no poder ninguna igualar la belleza
    De la Reina de todo Argyll. [x2]
    Espero que os haya servido de ayuda💗
