Ballad Of |
|
Jed Clampett - |
|
Bill Monroe |
|
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named |
|
Jed Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed |
|
Then one day he was shootin' at some food |
|
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude (Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold) |
|
First thing you know, old |
|
Jed's a millionaire |
|
Friends said, |
|
Jed, move away from here |
|
Said that |
|
California was the place he ought to be |
|
So 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 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, hear?) |
