Come and listen to my story
|
'Bout a man named Jed
|
A poor mountaineer,
|
Barely kept his family fed.
|
And 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 "California's the place you outta be".
|
So they loaded up the truck
|
And they moved to Beverly.
|
|
Hills that is, Swimming pools, movie stars.
|
|
Well now it's time to say
|
Goodby to Jed and all his kin,
|
They would like to thank
|
You folks for kindly droppin' in.
|
You're all invited back again to this locality
|
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.
|
|
Hillbilly that is, sit a spell, take your shoes off.
|
|
Y'all come back now, y'hear?
