The Ballad of Jed Clampett

Paul Henning

[Verse 1]
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground come a bubblin' crude
(Oil, that is. Black gold, Texas tea)

[Verse 2]
Well the first thing you know, Jed's a millionaire
Kinfolk 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. Swimmin' pools, movie stars)

[Verse 3]
Now its time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks fer' kindly droppin' in
You're all invited back next week to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
Hillbillies
That's what they call them now

[Outro]
Nice folks, y'all come back here
