OF
JED CLAMPETT
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named
JedPoor 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 thereSaid 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 localityTo 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?)
