White Lightning

(J.P. Richardson)



(Whew whay soway) white lightning



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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

My eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)

Lightning started splashin', thunder started crashin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

They were lookin', tryin' to book him

But my pappy kept on cookin'

(Whew whay soway) white lightning.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



Well the G men, T men...
