THE BALLAD OF JED CLAMPETT - Paul Henning



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

   Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea

2. First thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
   Can folks said: Jed, move away from here
   Said that California is the place he ought to be
   So he loaded up the truck and they moved to Baverly

   Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars

3. Well, now it's time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin
   We 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?
