The Ballad Of Jed Clampett - Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

[Verse 1]
G                               D
 Come listen to a story 'bout a  man named Jed
  D                         C                G
A  poor mountaineer, barely  kept his family  fed
         G           C                 A
Then one  day he was  shootin' at some  food
    D                                      G
And  up through the ground came a-bubblin'  crude
Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea.
 
[Verse 2]
G                                   D
 Well, the first thing you know old  Jed's a millionaire
    D                    G
The  kin folks said "Jed  move away from there"
                       C                   A
Said "California's the  place you ought to  be"
        D                                  G
So they  bundled up the truck and moved to  Beverly
Hills that is. Swimmin' pools. Movie stars.
 
[Verse 3]
G                                      D
 Well, now it's time to say goodbye to  Jed and all his kin
D                                 C                G
 They would like to thank you for  kindly stoppin'  in
                   G                  C          A
You're all invited  back next week to  this locality
   D                                         G
To  have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
