Ballad Of Jed Clampett

G                               C         D
Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed
D                         G
A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
G                      C
Then one day he while shootin' at some food
D                                  G
Up from the ground came a bubblin' crude.
G
Oil that is,  black gold,  Texas tea

G                                 C             D
Well the first thing you know Ole Jed’s a millionaire.
D                       G
The kinfolk said, "Jed, move away from there!”
 G                           C
They said "Californie is the place that you oughta be!”
        D                                          G
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
G
Hills, that is, Swimming pools, and movie stars

G                                 C               D
Now, it's time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
D                                    G
They would like to thank you all for kindly dropin’ in.
G                                C
You’re all invited back again to this locality,
   D                                       G
To have a heapin’ helpin’ of their hospitality.
G
Hillbillies, that's good folks,
Y'all come back now, y'hear?
