Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day
he was shooting at some food, And up through the ground came a bubbling crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know old 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. Swimming pools, movie stars. The Beverly
Hillbillies! (Played at the end of the TV show) Well now its time to say good-bye to Jed and
all his kin. And they would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in. You're all invited back again to this locality To have a heaping helping of their
hospitality Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
