Lyrics

[Intro]
| A | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
         A
Well, in North Carolina,
way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy,
and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
E
Mighty, mighty pleasin',
   D
pappy's corn squeezin'
A
 Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'

[Chorus]
          D
Well, the G men, T men, revenuers too
      A
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
          E
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
       D
But my pappy kept on cookin'
A
 Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Well,
  A
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
E
Mighty, mighty pleasin',
     D
your pappy's corn squeezin'
A
 Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'

[Chorus]
          D
Well, the G men, T men, revenuers too
      A
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
          E
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
       D
But my pappy kept on cookin'
A
 Whshhhoooh.. white lightnin'

[Verse 3]
Well,
  A
a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff"
He took one sslug and he drank it right down
And I heard him amoanin' as he hit the ground
E
Mighty, mighty pleasin',
        D
your pappy's corn squeezin'
A
 Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'

[Chorus]
    D
The G men, T men, revenuers too
A
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
          E
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
       D
But my pappy kept acookin'
A
 Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'
