The Ballad of Jed Clampett

1 5
Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jed
1
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
4 b5
Then one day he was shootin’ at some food
5 1
And up through the ground come a-bubblin’ 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
He said California is the place you oughta be
So he loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
Hills that is, swimmin’ pools, movie stars

Now it’s time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin’ 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 y’hear
