White Lightning

Well in North Carolina

Way back in the hills

Me and my old pappy

Had a hand in 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'

Shh white lightnin'

Well 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 a-cookin'

Shh 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'

Shh white lightnin'

Yeah l 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 a-cookin'

Shh white lightnin'

Well a city slicker came

And he said "I'm tough"

I think I wanna taste

That powerful stuff

He took one glug

And drank it right down

And I heard him a moanin'

As he hit the ground

Mighty mighty pleasin'

Pappy's corn squeezin'

Shh 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 a-cookin'
