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' |
