Intro: verse 1 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 and he'd pass it around Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin' (whew white lightnin') Well the T men men a revenuers too A searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were lookin' tryin' to book him But my pappy kept on cookin' (Whew white lightnin') Riff: verse 2 Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew White lightnin' stead of mountain dew Well I took a little sip and right away I knew And my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started crashin' (whew white lightnin') Well the T men men revenuers too They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were lookin' tryin' to book him But my pappy kept on cookin' Mmmm they couldn't find his white lightnin' Riff verse 3 Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough I feel I want to taste that powerful stuff He took one slug and he drank it right down And I heard him a moanin' an groanin' as he hit the ground Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin' (Mmmm white lightnin') Outro Well the T men men revenuers too They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were lookin' tryin' to book him But my pappy kept on cookin' (white lightnin)
