Johnny Cash - White Lightning

Lyrics

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills

Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still

We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down

Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around

Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'

Whshhhoooh... white lightning

[Chorus]

Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were looking, tryin to book him,

But my pappy kept cookin'

Whshhhoooh... white lightning

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightning 'stead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Lightning started flashin' and thunder started crashin'

Shhhoooh... white lightnin'

[Chorus]

Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were looking, tryin to book him,

But my pappy kept a-cookin'

Whshhhoooh . . . white lightning

Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"

I think I want to taste that powerful stuff

He took one g-g-glug and drank it right down

And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground

Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'

Whshhhoooh... white lightning

[Chorus]

Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were looking, tryin' to book him,

but my pappy kept cookin'

Whshhhoooh... white lightning...
