[00:11.90]They'll be tearin' up the mountain
[00:13.63]They'll be campin' in the snow!
[00:18.50]If I follow that sound
[00:20.04]I could find what I'm lookin' fer
[00:24.50]It could be glory callin'
[00:27.70]Callin' me

[00:38.80]Callin'
[00:39.56]An' comin' back, an' comin' clear
[00:45.60]Callin' is what I hear
[00:52.36]No more plowin' a hardscrabble field;
[00:55.72]I jes' know

[02:44.81]All our money worries will be gone;
[02:46.50]We will be dreamin' on
[02:48.85]You see,I'll set you up on a valley farm
[02:53.90]Where you can nap under apple trees
[02:57.27]Put up your feet
[02:59.62]Instead of kickin' my ass!
[03:02.90]Oh, Papa!

[03:15.45]It will amaze and astound
[03:20.17]From all 'cross Kentucky
[03:22.10]They'll come to see what I found
[03:24.21]I always knew that there'd be somethin' in the stars fer me
[03:31.95]The stars could be so fine...
[03:51.48]Gonna follow that sound!

[04:30.20]I jes' know it's my lucky day
[04:34.00]We're so close!
[04:35.00]"Floyd's a fine boy. He takes after his Pa—stubborn as a mule!"
[04:43.33]"But he knows his own mind."
[04:48.38]I always knew I'd hear the sound
[04:52.42]Of voices all around me
[04:54.11]That's the sound of Glory after all!
[05:00.83]That's my call!
[05:14.00]Holy... This is it!

[07:03.73]No Indians, no thrill seekers
[07:07.40]No damn crazy cavin' fools!
[07:11.70]Nobody, nothin' till I found her
[07:16.86]God showed her to me first!
