Del Reeves - White Lightning Lyrics

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...
