White Lightning - Georges Jones
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'
White lightning
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 cookin'
White lightning
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightning started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
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'
White lightning
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I want to taste that powerful stuff
He took one g-g-glug and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'
White lightning
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 cookin'
White lightning
