The Ballad of Jed Clampett

Lyrics

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
 Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
 Then one day he was shooting for some food,
 And up through the ground come 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 moved 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 kindly 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?)
