Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
|
Lived my pappy and he had 'im a still
|
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
|
Fill 'im a jug and he pass it around
|
Mighty mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing
|
(Whew White lightning)
|
|
Well the G men T men revenoers too
|
Searching for the place where he made his brew
|
They were looking trying to book 'im but my pappy kept on cooking
|
(Whew White lightning)
|
[ guitar ]
|
Well I asked my pappy why he called his brew
|
White lightning stead of mountain dew
|
I took a little sip and then I knew
|
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
|
Lightning started flashing thunder started crashing
|
(Whew White lightning)
|
|
Well the G men T men revenoers too...
|
[ steel ]
|
A city slicker came and said I mighty tough
|
I think I want to take that powerful stuff
|
He took one slug drank it right down
|
I heard him moan as he hit the ground
|
Mighty mighty pleasing your pappy's corn squeezing
|
(Whew White lightning)
|
|
Well the G men T men revenoers too...
