Текст песни 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?)
