         G
Well, in North-uh-Carolina, way back in the hills
G
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still.
   G
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down.
             G* 
And then he filled him a jug and he passed it around.
D7                        C
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin's

Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
G
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          D7                                  C
They were lookin', tryin' to book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'

[Verse 2]
         G
Well, I asked ol' my pappy what he called his brew
G
    white lightnin 'stead of mountain dew

I took a little sip and right away I knew
           G*                    N.C.
'Cause my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
D7                          C
Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started clashin'

[Verse 3]
         G
Well, a city slicker came and he said, "I'm tough"

I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff.

He took one sip and drank it right down.
      G*
And I heard him a-moaning as he hit the ground
D7                           C
Mighty, mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin's                      
N.C.                            
     shhhhhhhhh.... white lightnin'

G
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          D7                                  C
