Earl Scruggs - The Beverly Hillbillies текст песни

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?
