(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ]
In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down
And we take out a jug and we pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ]
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin' thunder started crashin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ]
Well the G men T men revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar - steel ]
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff
He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ]
Well the G men T men...
