Lyrics Ballad of Jed Clampett (Theme from "the Beverly Hillbillies") [Live At Newport Folk Festival, 1966] - Lester Flatt
Ome
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,
black
gold,
Texas
tea)
First
thing
you
know,
old
Jed′s
a
millionaire
Kin
folks
said,
"Jed,
move
away
from
there"
Said
California
was
the
place
he
ought
to
be
So
they
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
next
week
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?)
