Well in North Carolina way back in the hills

Lived my pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightning 'til the sun went down

And then he'd fill him a jug an' pass it around

Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's corn squeezin'

White lightning

Yeah the g men t men revenurers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' to book him

But my pappy kept on cookin'

White lightning

Well I asked my pappy why call his brew

White lightning 'stead of mountain dew

I took on sip and then I knew

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's corn squeezin'

White lightning

Yeah g men t men revenuers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' book him

But my pappy kept on cookin'

White lightning

Well a city slicker came and said I'm mighty tough

I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff

He took one s slug and he drank it right down

And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground

Mighty mighty pleasin' you're pappy's corn squeezin'

White lightning

Yeah g men t men revenuers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' book him

But my pappy kept on cookin'

White lightning

Yeah g men t men revenuers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin' tryin' book him

But my pappy kept on cookin'

White lightning
