Bb 
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.

  Bb 
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.

  Bb 
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'..
