The Beverly Hillbillies Lyrics

Come and listen to my story

'Bout a man named Jed

A poor mountaineer,

Barely kept his family fed.

And 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 "California's the place you outta be".

So they loaded up the truck

And they moved to Beverly.



Hills that is, Swimming pools, movie stars.



Well now it's time to say

Goodby to Jed and all his kin,

They would like to thank

You folks for kindly droppin' in.

You're all invited back again to this locality

To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.



Hillbilly that is, sit a spell, take your shoes off.



Y'all come back now, y'hear?
