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
