White Lightning

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills

Lived my ol' pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightning till the sun went down

Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around

Mighty mighty pleasing pappy's corn squezing

Shhhhhhh "WHITE LIGHTNING"

Well the g-men t-men revenures to

Searchin' for the place were he made his brew

They were lookin' tryn' to book him

Ooooo "WHITE LIGHTNING"

I asked my ol' pappy why he called his brew

White lightning stead' of mountain dew

I took one sip and right away i knew as

My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Lightning started flashin' thunder started crashing

Oooooooo "WHITE LIGHTNING"

Well the g-men t-men revanures too searching

For the place were he made his brew

They were lookin' tryn' too book him

Ooooooo "WHITE LIGHTNING"

Well a city slicker came and he said

Im tough i think i wanna taste that

Powerfull stuff he took one swift slug

And he drank it right down and i

Heard him moaning as he hit the ground

Mighty mighty pleasin'your pappys corn squezin'

Ooooooo "WHITE LIGHTNING"

Well the g-men t-men revanuers too

Searchin' for the place were he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' to book him but my

Pappy kept a cookin' ooooooo "WHITE LIGHTNING"
