Title: White Lightning

-----------------

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills

There lived by old pappy and he had him a still

He brewed white lightning till the sun went down

Then he filled him a jug and he passed it around

Mighty, mighty pleasing, pappy's corn squeezings

Ooh white lightning

Chorus

Well the "G" men, the "T" man, revenuers too

Searching for the place where he made his brew

They were looking, trying to book him

But my pappy kept on cooking

Ooh white lightning

One day I asked my pappy what he called his brew

White lightning instead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew

When my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Lightning started flashing, thunder started crashing

Ooh, my goodness, white lightning

[chorus]

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

I think I'd like to try that powerful stuff

He took a little slug and he drank it on down

You could hear him a moaning as he hit the ground

Mighty, mighty pleasing, pappy's corn squeezings

Ooh white lightning

[chorus]
