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?)

I don’t know about everybody else, but I would love to have Jed Clampett and his family as neighbor. I know I get some good food and have a lot of fun
It to mention Ellie May
And Jethro @@petesmith9472
And some good vittals from Granny
If Jethro leaves any.
Jethro ain’t gonna share that bowl of cereal ‘em flakes
A Masterful performance. Nobody else could sing like that and nobody else played the banjo like Earl Scruggs,
im 16 and my grandpa sang this to me my whole life im so happy to know what its from finally
If you like this stuff, find Bill Monroe and the Texas Playboys. This is Bluegrass son, Earl Scruggs invented this style of banjo picking.
It was this tune that started my love for the banjo.
❤❤ Me too!!!
I always loved when they were on the show and would sing.
These guys made the world a happier place
Love my Beverly Hillbillies now 2024 and 1973 as a little kid
Love Lester and Earl !! Their music is great !!
Wish these where our times now
Thanks to TH-cam 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!
Agree with you. I grew up on his even though I was born and lived in Alabama
Fantastic
This video and other Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs songs ought to be having 70 million+ views! And listening to, and watching these master showman perform this lovely piece is really a thrill a minute!
Because this is posted by random Fred. No actual association to Flatt and Scruggs.
ppl dont listen to this anymore!! they are more interested in rap music.. this is what diversity did! killed america @@ndb_1982
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.
Everyone who watched the show know this song and all the words. This song is timeless
Scanned from QR code while talking my photo in the truck from the show
A true classic tune!
Classic elegant. Love Lester and Earl
Wow , have never seen this , amazing in a way
And they added the Winston Cigarettes plug after the cast was introduced! "Winston tastes good, like a (twang twang) cigarette should!".
Good Country Cooking !😋😍
Best banjo 🪕 ever ❤❤
What a gem! THANKS for posting.
“Cowboy Sings”, you sure do bring us some wonderful treasures! Thank you very much!
Certainly. Stolen from others and posted here.
Masters of their Craft!
Earl Scruggs was a monster.
a humble, unassuming, soft spoken gentleman who appreciated his fans!!!
I remember this song well! Loved that show
Growing up in the south. I remember that accent he sings with!
How times have changed!
I sure do miss the days of wholesome television.
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.
Real musicians.
Classic!
These old dudes wail on the banjo!!
I'm 8 and I sing this song everyday I love this song my grandfather sang it to me everyday so ik it
Well I'm 6 and my brother is 5 and we knowed how to sang this song along time ago cause Earl scrubs lives in Shelby cause that's where me and my brother lives in Shelby to.
Wouldn’t it be something to invite Jed Clampett and his family over for dinner sometime?!
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.
Earl Scruggs was the Buddy Rich of the banjo.. the best ever!
TRULY WAS THE VERY VERY BEST EVER PLAYED….AND SOOO HUMILITY!!
But Buddy Rich was a Drummer, not a Banjo Player.😅
Earl Scruggs invented the manner in which he played. No one ever sounded like his style before. Not Buddy Rich, great as he was.
@@jefftanner3803what a stupid comment
Love this 💛✨👍
Classic!!!
Amazing that the instrumental sounds exactly like the tv theme recording. Too bad you can't hear the fiddle part so well.
No one can out Banjo a Hillbilly...
Love the "much obliged" line lol definitely using it!
Loved the show and all the cast. Ellie mae. Louisiana home girl.
Applaud👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Legendary Iconic ..
🔥🔥🔥
good times
Who took Flatt's guitar away. He's playing with his hands like he's missing it real bad.
He gave it to Josh so he could carry the rhythm and Lester could dance the “Kentucky Backstep.”
Prof. Luigi, 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.
I think he’s practicing his yo-yo
That's just wrong.
If you look at Josh Graves he’s playing Lester’s guitar there is no Dobro part in this song so look at Josh he’s playing Lester’s guitar thanks for being observant
Fun times. Most people sre miserable today despite being wealthier than ever.
To me the Opry died when Mr Acuff passed
it would have been something if granny jed jethro and elly mae had walked out on the stage during this performance

Dang, Earl actually smiling
Jed
Let's give credit to Jerry Scoggins who actually sung it for the TV series theme song.
Sick lick at 1:15.
I noticed that too!
They wouldn’t let that be on live tv nowadays so sad
That's my cousin singing 😁
I have always wondered why they used Jerry Scoggins to re-record the vocals to the theme song for the Beverly Hillbillies tv show over Flatt and Scruggs instrumentals?
Thanks, I wondered who that was. Jerry has a deeper voice.
Flatt is so good here
Y’all come now here 😎
Does anybody know when and where this was recorded thank you
So which came first the song or the sit com
Paul Henning created the show and wrote the song as its theme.
Did this song come first or the Beverly hillbillies TV show idea?
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 TH-cam, 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.
@@mahdesianTheme song was restored for the DVD release of the first two seasons and also has the Winston cigarettes and Kellogg's cereal portions restored as well.
WOW.. So these are the guys who created that song, eh?
*So this is a story about a man named Jed, poor old man barely kept his family fed-*
Earl Scruggs is the Mozart of the Banjo. He's the one who invented the driving sound you hear,the 3 finger style.
I must be weird because I wouldn’t mind having the Clampetts as neighbors. I even eat Granny’s cooking
@@chrismiccolupi2506 Possum stew!
Ken Lua yep I eat it
"a poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed"
That is a great band of great players. Amazing. Notice, no drummer. Not needed or wanted.
Who is on mandolin ?
The late great Earl Taylor who, along w/ his Stoney
Mt. Boys, were the 1st Bluegrass band to ever play Carnegie Hall…in 1959
Dayam Lester needs a guitar. Doesn’t know what to do with his hands.
#kennedy2024
I think Lester’s playing with a yo-yo there isn’t he?
