1
Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
2
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
3
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
4
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
5
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
6
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
7
Chorus:
8
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
9
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
10
They were looking, tryin to book him,
11
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
12
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
13
--- Instrumental ---
14
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
15
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
16
I took a little sip and right away I knew
17
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
18
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
19
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
20
Chorus:
21
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
22
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
23
They were looking, tryin to book him,
24
but my pappy kept a-cookin'
25
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
26
--- Instrumental ---
27
Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
28
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
29
He took one g-g-glug and drank it right down
30
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
31
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
32
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
33
Chorus:
34
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
35
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
36
They were looking, tryin to book him,
37
but my pappy kept a-cookin'
38
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'...
