Bill Monroe - The Ballad Of Jed Clampett Lyrics
Ballad Of Jed Clampett - Bill MonroeCome and listen to my story 'bout a man named JedPoor mountaineer, barely kept his family fedThen one day he was shootin' at some foodAnd up through the ground came a bubbling crude(Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold)First thing you know, old Jed's a millionaireFriends said, Jed, move away from hereSaid that California was the place he ought to beSo he loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly(Hills, that is, swimming pools and movie stars)Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kinThey would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping inYou're all invited back again to this localityTo have a heaping helping of their hospitality(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em nowNice folks, Y'all come back now, hear?)
