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 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 lightnin'


Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'

Shhhoooh, white lightnin'


[Chorus]


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

I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff

He took one s-s-sip 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 lightnin'


[Chorus]
