THE BALLAD OF JED CLAMPETT  (Earl Scruggs)
  
  
      G                        Am         D     
Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
               D/A          G 
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
         G/B          C               Fdim
Then one day he was shootin' at some food
     D                                      G
 And up through the ground came a-bubblin' crude

Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea


           G                        Am            D 
Well, the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
               D/A       G                          
The kin folks said "Jed move away from there"
          G/B           C                Fdim 
Said "California's the place you ought to be"
         D                                     G      
So they bundled up the truck and moved to Beverly

Hills that is. Swimmin' pools. Movie stars


       G                               Am              D 
Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
                    D/A           G 
They would like to thank you for kindly stoppin' in
                   G/B                C        Fdim  
You're all invited back next week to this locality
    D                                       G             
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
