Ballad of Jed Clampet Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea
Well, the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars
Now it's time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now
Flatt and Skruggs
Poor mountaineer, barely kept his fam'ly fed
Than one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude
Kin folks said: Jed, move away from here
They said that California is the place he ought to be
So he loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
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
Nice folks, Y'all come back now, hear?
