Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file
Come 'n listen to my story
'Bout a man named Jed
Poor Mountaineer barely
Kept his family fed
An' then one day,
He was shootin' at some food,
An' up thru the ground
Came a bubblin' crude.
Oil that is!
Black gold!
Texas tea!
Well, the first thing ya know,
Jed's a millionaire
Kinfolk said,
"Jed, move away from there."
Said: Californy is
The place y'oughta be,
So they loaded up the truck,
And they moved to Beverly.
Hills that is!
Swimmin' pools,
Movie stars!
Ol' Jed bought a mansion.
Lawdy it was swank
Next door neighbor was
Pres'dent of the bank,
Lotsa folks objected,
But the banker found no fault,
'Cause ol' Jed's millions
Was alayin' in the vault
Cash, that is!
Cap'tal gains,
Depletion money!
Well now it's time
To say goodbye
To Jed and all his kin
An' they would like to thank
You folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back again
To this locality,
T'have a heapin' helpin'
Of their hospitality.
Hillbilly, that is! Set a spell,
Take your shoes off!
Y'all come back, here!
