Lyrics

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shootin at some food, And up through the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire, Kinfolk said Jed move away from there Said Californy is the place you ought to be So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars. Well now its time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin. And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in. You're all invited back next week to this locality To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
