Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
E                                       A
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
A                   D                D#
Then one day he was shooting at some food,
    E                                     A
And up through the ground come a bubbling crude
A
(Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
E                 A
Kin folk said Jed move away from there
        A                 D                D#
He said California is the place you oughta be
        E                                          A
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
A
(Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars)

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
A                                      E 
They would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in
       A                         D          D#
You're all invited back again to this locality
   E                                        A 
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
A
(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now,

Nice folks. Y'all come back now, ya hear?)
