The 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?
