Earl Scruggs The Ballad of Jed Clampett Lyrics

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer berely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shooting for some food,
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
(Oil that is, black gold, Texas Tea)

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
Kin folk said, "Jed move away from there"
Said, "California is the place you oughta be"
So they loaded up the truck and they move to Beverly
(Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars)

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks
for kindely dropping in
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now,
Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)
