Lyrics
Ballad Of Jed Clampett - Bill Monroe



Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed

Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed

Then one day he was shootin' at some food

And up through the ground came a bubbling crude

(Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold)



First thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire

Friends said, Jed, move away from here

Said that California was the place he ought to be

So he loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

(Hills, that is, swimming pools and 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, hear?)
