There is an awesome group that does a bluegrass project called `pickin on` and they cover albums. My favorite one of these is `Pickin On - Modest Mouse` where they do not only the music for the whole album, but the lyrics as well. Definitely worth checking out.

That being said, there is a Ralph Stanley song called `Cant You Hear the Mountains Calling`, for which the lyrics are not online anywhere. You heard it here, folks, transcribed below:
(I am not going to put this song on some lyrics website, because the song is kind of about how you should NOT be putting lyrics on some website...)

As childhood friends
We left the mountains
Dreams of riches
Filled our heads
In a distand land
We made a dime
And he spoke to me
With his last breath

Cant you hear the mountains calling?
Louder than a thunder roll
Come back from ______
I hear them calling
My son your rambling days are over

For many years
This world Ive travelled
Searching for
Some peace of mind
But when I heard
The mountains calling
I left my ramblin ways behind

Cant you hear the mountains calling?
Louder than the thunder rolls
Come back from __________
I hear them calling
My son your rambling days are over

And so my son I beg you listen
No matter where on Earth you roam
When you hear the mountains calling
Its time my son to come back home

Cant you hear the mountains calling?
Louder than a thunder roll
Come back from ________
I hear them calling
My son your rambling days are over
