Lester Flatt And Earl Scruggs Ballad Of Jed Clampett lyrics
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shooting for some food
And up through the ground come a bubbling crude
(Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)
Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
Kin folk said Jed move away from there
Said California is the place you oughta 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 goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now
Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)

A Masterful performance. Nobody else could sing like that and nobody else played the banjo like Earl Scruggs,

If you like this stuff, find Bill Monroe and the Texas Playboys. This is Bluegrass son, Earl Scruggs invented this style of banjo picking.

The sheer sound of this is what music should be about. I saw a link with Scruggs with Steve Martin on Letterman: I had to put some respect on bluegrass' name. It really spoke to me. May the art of real performers with real instruments Never go away.

Sen. McCarthy was right about the com mie take over of hollywood. He was mocked and ridiculed. Even today they won't admit it. Just another chapter in the take-over of the world by the ill uman atti.

Thanks to RU-vid and all the people out there that have these Gems like this, the whole world can hear this wonderful music if they look for it or find it! Kentucky is the land of Bluegrass where I am from. The Bluegrass state is our moto. We do have actual bluegrass, which is a blueish green color in patches. I love bluegrass! These 2 gentlemen were the very best!

@centerice 2 месяца назад

It just dawned on me, that as iconic as Earl's banjo playing is on this song, I think Lester's buttery smooth baritone is even MORE critical to the "signature" of this song. For example, you could have another banjo player stand in, and the song would be the same, as long as he played the same, or close, to the same notes that Earl played. However...You could NEVER have another person sing this song and have it sound the same. Anyone other than Lester Flatt, and it is a truly DIFFERENT SONG.

@glenngibson9201 6 лет назад

As to Flatt not playing guitar, I remember reading that he had a heart attack in the 1960s (I don't recall the exact year). He, of course, was off the road for a while. So I'm thinking this not too long after his doctor released him to travel. If they did open his chest, even after convalescing, it could have been too sore to have a guitar pressed up against it, considering how busy they were.

Who took Flatt's guitar away. He's playing with his hands like he's missing it real bad.

@fiddlingary 6 лет назад

He gave it to Josh so he could carry the rhythm and Lester could dance the “Kentucky Backstep.”

Did this song come first or the Beverly hillbillies TV show idea?

@mahdesian 3 года назад

The song was written by Paul Henning, sung by Jerry Scoggins with music by Flatt and Scruggs. (No idea why they didn't have Lester Flatt sing the song.) If you look at RU-vid, the song isn't there in the first two seasons. The first two seasons had the song removed because the series was in public domain, but the song was not.
