Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'
(whew white lightnin')
A searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew white lightnin')
verse 2
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' stead of mountain dew
Well I took a little sip and right away I knew
And my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started crashin'
(whew white lightnin')
They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
Mmmm they couldn't find his white lightnin'
verse 3
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I feel I want to taste that powerful stuff
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'
(Mmmm white lightnin')
They were searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(white lightnin)
