In North Carolina, way back in the hills,
there lived my Pappy and he had him a still.
Eb
He brewed white lightning till the sun was down,
Bb
and then he'd fill him a jug, and pass it around.
F Eb
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
Bb
whew, white Lightning.
Eb
G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
Bb
searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
F
They were lookin', tryin' to book him,
Eb Bb
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.

I asked my Pappy why he called his brew..
white lightning, instead of mountain dew.
Eb
I took one sip and then I knew,
Bb
as my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue.
F Eb
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin'
Bb
wsssshhhh..white Lightning.

G-men, T-men, Revenurers too,

searchin' for the place where he made his brew.

They were lookin', tryin' to book him,
Eb Bb
But my Pappy kept on cookin'..wsssshhh..white Lightning.

A city slicker came, and said, "I'm tough..
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff.'
Eb
He took one slug and he drank it right down,
Bb
and I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground..
F Eb
'Mighty, mighty, pleasin', your Pappy's corn squeezin'..
Bb
wssssshhhh..White Lightning.
