Conway Twitty - White Lightning lyrics

rate me

(Whew whay soway) white lightning

[ guitar ]

In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills

Lived my old pappy we had us a still

We brewed white lightning till the sun went down

And we take out a jug and we pass it around

Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning

[ guitar ]

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightning stead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew

As my eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)

Lightning started splashin' thunder started crashin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning

[ guitar ]

Well the G men T men revenoers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were looking tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning

[ guitar - steel ]

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

I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff

He took one drink and he slug it right down

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

Mighty mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning

[ guitar ]

Well the G men T men...
