Ballad of Jed Clampett

as recorded by Roy Clark form the E true Hollywood Story

writers Flatt & Scruggs

(G) Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named (D)Jed

Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family (G) fed

Then one day he was shootin' at some (C) food

And up through the ground (D) came a bubbling crude

(Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold)

(G) First thing you know, old Jed's a (D) millionaire

Friends said, Jed, (G) move away from here

Said that California was the place he ought to (C) be

(D) So he loaded up the truck and they moved to (G) Beverly

(Hills, that is, swimming pools and movie stars)

(G) Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his (D) kin

They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping (G) in

You're all invited back again to this (C) locality

To have a (D) heaping helping of their (G) hospitality

(G) (Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now

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