(Part 1)

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

(Part 2)

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?
