"You have to remember, Granny, that these are city people. They growed up with newspapers and radio and TV and an education. We didn't have none of those things. If we would've have, we'd been as peculiar as they are."
"The greatest joy in all of livin is the joy that comes from freely givin."
"Old folks likes old things."
"Ever man needs a wife; they's a lot of things he can't blame on the government."
"Happier than a itchy pig rubbing against a rail fence".
"A widow is sure to want to marry again.She knows all about men,and the only man who knows all about her is dead."
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed.
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
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 ";Californy is the place you ought to be.";
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly--
Hills, that is. Swimmin' pools, movie stars.
Ol' Jed bought a mansion, Law-dy 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 a-layin' in the vault.
Cash, that is! Capital gains, Depletion money!
Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back a 'gin to this locality.
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.
Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off.
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
