The Ballad of Jed Clampett

The Ballad of Jed Clampett - Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs

Lyrics by：Paul Henning

Composed by：Paul Henning

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

Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed

Then one day he was shooting that 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

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 hear
