White Lightning Lyrics - Del Reeves

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills 

Lived my pappy and he had 'im a still 

He brewed white lightning till the sun went down 

Fill 'im a jug and he pass it around 

Mighty mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing 

(Whew White lightning) 

Well the G men T men revenoers too 

Searching for the place where he made his brew 

They were looking trying to book 'im but my pappy kept on cooking 

(Whew White lightning) 

[ guitar ] 

Well I asked my pappy why he called his brew 

White lightning stead of mountain dew 

I took a little sip and then I knew 

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue 

Lightning started flashing thunder started crashing 

(Whew White lightning) 

Well the G men T men revenoers too... 

[ steel ] 

A city slicker came and said I mighty tough 

I think I want to take that powerful stuff 

He took one slug drank it right down 

I heard him moan as he hit the ground 

Mighty mighty pleasing your pappy's corn squeezing 

(Whew White lightning) 

Well the G men T men revenoers too...
