Well in North Carolina
Way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy
And he had him a still
Brewed white lightnin'
'Til the sun went down
Filled him a jug and
He passed it around
Mighty mighty pleasin'
Pappy's corn squeezin'
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
Well the 'T' men 'G' men
Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place
Where he made his brew
They were lookin'
Tryin' to book him
But my pappy
Kept on cookin'
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
Well I asked my ol' pappy
Why he called his brew
White lightning instead of
Mountain dew
I took a little sip
Right away I knew
'Cause my eyes bugged out
And my face turned blue
Lightning started flashin'
Thunder started crashing
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
Well the 'T' men 'G' men
Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place
Where he made his brew
They were lookin'
Tryin' to book him
But my pappy
Kept on cookin'
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
Well a city slicker came
And he said I'm tough
I want a drink of that
Powerful stuff
He took a little sip and
He drank it right down
And I heard him moanin'
As he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin'
Pappy's corn squeezin'
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
Well the 'T' men 'G' men
Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place
Where he made his brew
They were lookin'
Tryin' to book him
But my pappy
Kept on cookin'
Pssssss.... hiccup...
White lightnin'
