Ballad of Jed Clampett
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shooting for 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)
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, ya hear?)
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed

And up through the ground come a bubbling crude

Said California is the place you oughta be
So they loaded up the truck

Well now it's time to say goodbye to

They would like to thank you folks

You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
(Beverly Hillbillies,

Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)
