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
White lightnin'
7
Well, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too
8
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
9
They were looking, tryin' to book him
10
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
11
White lightnin'
12
Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
13
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
14
I took a little sip and right away I knew
15
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
16
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'
17
White lightnin'
18
Yeah, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too
19
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
20
They were looking, tryin' to book him
21
My pappy kept a-cookin'
22
White lightnin'
23
Well, a city slicker came and he said, "I'm tough"
24
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
25
He took one slug and drank it on down
26
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
27
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'
28
White lightnin'
29
Yeah, the "G" men, "T" men, the revenuers, too
30
Were searchin' for the place where he made his brew
31
They were looking, tryin' to book him
32
My pappy kept a-cookin'
33
White lightnin'
