In North Carolina way back in the hills Lived my pappy and he had him a still He brewed White Lightning till the sun go down Then he'd get out a jug and pass it around Mighty mighty pleasing Poppa kept a- squeezing Called it White Lightning G-men, T-men, Revenue too Searching for the place where he made his brew They were looking trying to book him But my pappy kept a- cooking it (White Lightning) I asked my pappy why he called the brew White Lightning's full of morning dew Took one sip and then I knew When my eyes bulged out and my face turned blue Mighty mighty pleasing Poppa kept a- squeezing Called it White Lightning G-men, T-men, Revenue too Searching for the place where he made his brew They were looking trying to book him But my pappy kept a- cooking it (White Lightning) A city slicker came and he said, "I'm mighty tough" "I wanna get a taste of the powerful stuff" He took one slug and drank it right down And I heard him moaning as he hit the ground Mighty mighty pleasing Poppa kept a- squeezing Called it White Lightning G-men, T-men, Revenue too Searching for the place where he made his brew They were looking trying to book him But my pappy kept a- cooking it (White Lightning) G-men, T-men, Revenue too Searching for the place where he made his brew They were looking trying to book him But my pappy kept a- cooking it (White Lightning) Shout!
