Lyrics White Lightnin’ - Waylon Jennings

White Lightnin’

Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down
And then he’d fill him a jug, he’d pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy’s corn squeezin'
White lightnin'
Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White lightnin'
Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew as
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started crashin'
White lightnin'
Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White lightnin'
Well, a city slicker came and he said, «I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff»
He took one swift slug and he drank it right down
And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy’s corn squezin'
White lightnin'
Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
