Smokey River Boys - Beverly Hillbillies Theme lyrics

rate me

(Ballad Of Jed Clampett)

The Osborne Brothers & Smokey River Boys band

Music Introduction: Banjo & band

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed

Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed

Then one day he was shooting at some food,

And up through the ground come a bubbling crude

(Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)

Music Channel: Banjo solo

Well the first thing you know…. old Jed's a millionaire

Kin folks said, “Jed move away from there”

He said, “California is the place he oughta be”

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

(Hills that is, swimming pools, and uh movie stars)

Music Channel: Banjo & Mandolin

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin

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

(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now,

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