Earl Scruggs – The Beverly Hillbillies lyrics
The Ballad Of Jed Clampett

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin' at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude.

Oil that is
Black gold
Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is.
Swimmin' pools.
Movie stars.

Well now it's time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off

Y'all come back now, y'hear?

    you forgot the second verse of the opening song : now come along and visit with the Clampett family
    as they learn the simple pleasures of the hills of Beverly
    and that includes the products of the sponsor of the week
    (this part varied, for example) the cereals of Kelloggs, Kelloggs of Battle Creek , K,E, double L,O, double good Kelloggs good for you
