Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
There lived by old pappy and he had him a still.
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down.
Then he filled him a jug and he passed it around.
Mighty,mighty pleasin,mypappy's
corn squeezings.........(ooh-white-Lightnin')
Chorus
Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers too
Looking for the place where he made his brew.
They werelooking tryin to book him but my
pappy kept on cooking.......
(ooh-white-Lighnin')
Well I asked my pappy what he called his brew
He said white lightnin stead of mountain dew
I took one sip and right away I knew
Cause my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashinthunder started
crashing.......(ooh-white lightnin')-chorus
