Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy, we had us a still
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
Then he fill him a jug and he passed it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
--- Instrumental ---
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
'Cause my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Light was started flashing, thunder started crashing
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
--- Instrumental ---
Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I just gotta taste that powerful stuff
Took one slug and he drank it right down
And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasing, my pappy's corn squeezing
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Ssshe, white lightning...)
Lived my old pappy, we had us a still
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
Then he fill him a jug and he passed it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing
(Ssshe, white lightning.)
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Ssshe, white lightning.)

Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where he made his brew
