[1] Come and listen to a story 'bout a [5] man named Jed Poor mountaineer barely [1] kept his family fed Then one day he was [4] shootin' at some [b5] food And [5] up through the ground come a-bubblin' [1] 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
