_ Come and listen to my story [Bm] about a man [E] named Jed.
A mountaineer [A] barely kept his family fed.
Then one [D] day he was shooting [A] at some food.
[E] And up through the ground [A] come a bubbling crude.
Oh, that is black gold.
_ Texas tea.

_ Well, the first thing you [Bm] know, old Jed's a [E] millionaire.
_ Ken folks said, [A] Jed, move away from there.
He said, California [D] is the place [Eb] you ought to be.
[E] So he loaded up the truck and they moved to [A] Beverly _ Hills, that is.
_ Swimming pools.
_ Movie stars.

_ Now it's time to say goodbye [G] to Jed and [E] all his kin.
They would like to thank you [A] folks for kindly dropping in.
You're all invited back [D] again to this [A] locality.
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality.
_ Beverly _ Hillbillies.
That's what they call them now.
_ Nice folks.
You all come back here. _ _ _
