| Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
|
| Me and my old pappy and he had him a still
|
| We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
|
| Then he’d fill him a jug and he’d pass it around
|
| Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy’s corn squeezin'
|
| Whshhhoooh… white lightnin'
|
| Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
|
| Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
|
| They were looking, tryin to book him
|
| But my pappy kept a-cookin'
|
| Whshhhoooh… 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 my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
|
| Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
|
| Shhhoooh… white lightnin'
|
| Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
|
| Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
|
| They were looking, tryin to book him
|
| But my pappy kept a-cookin'
|
| Whshhhoooh… white lightnin'
|
| Well, a city slicker came and he said I’m tough
|
| I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
|
| He took one s-slug and drank it right down
|
| And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
|
| Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy’s corn squeezin'
|
| Whshhhoooh… white lightnin'
|
| Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
|
| Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
|
| They were looking, tryin to book him
|
| But my pappy kept a-cookin'
|
| Whshhhoooh… white lightnin'… |
