Lyrics -

Queen of Argyll (by Andy M. Stewart)

Gentle men 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
Oh if you could have seen her there
Boys if you had just been there
The swan is in her movements
And the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
Would bow and ask her pardon
But not one could match the beauty of
the Queen of all Argyll

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 the place of noble thinkers / of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor 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 claim her
I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of all Argyll

CHORUS
CHORUS

One Voice (by the Wailin' Jennys)

This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice

This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me, singin' with you
Helpin' each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices two

This is the sound of voices three
Singin' together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of voices three

This is the sound of all of us
Singin' with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind, it'll turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of all of us

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice
