Gentlemen it is my duty
To inform you of one beauty
Though I'd ask of you a favor
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.
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.
All the roses in the garden,
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
of the queen of all Argyll.
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 of noble thinkers,
Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour
Shone the Queen of all Argyll
CHORUS
So my lads I needs must leave you,
My intention's not to grieve you
Nor indeed would I 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
CHORUS
Silly Wizard were a Scottish folk band formed in Edinburgh in July 1972. The founding members were two like-minded students—Gordon Jones (guitar, bodhran, vocals, bouzouki, mandola) and Bob Thomas (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo, concertina)—along with Chris Pritchard (vocals). In September 1972, the youthful Johnny Cunningham (fiddle, viola, mandola, vocals), still a school student at the time, joined the group. In September 1972, the band took over the running and performed at the Triangle Folk Club until March 1974. In February 1973, Chris Pritchard left the band and was replaced by Madelaine Taylor (guitar, bodhran, vocals). In October 1973, the band signed with Transatlantic Records XTRA label. The album was recorded but before its release, Madelaine Taylor left the band in December 1973. The master tapes were subsequently lost and the album has never been released. Despite these early difficulties, Silly Wizard continued to perform and record music until the late 1980s. Their musical style was characterized by a blend of traditional Scottish folk music and contemporary influences, with complex arrangements and instrumental virtuosity.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
