As the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies, the Ballad of Jed Clampett is (for non banjo players) one of the most recognizable banjo songs in the world! It’s always a crowd-pleaser…

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)
