George Jones - White Lightning - Single Version lyrics
Artist: George Jones
album: Best Of
Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy, and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
And then he'd fill up a jug, and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin' (whew, white lightnin')
Well, the G men, T men, Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryna book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew, white lightnin')
♪
Well, 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
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin' (whew, white lightnin')
Well, the G men, T men, Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryna book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew, white lightnin')
♪
Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one full slug, and he drank it right down
And I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin' (whew, white lightnin')
The G men, T men, Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryna book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew, white lightnin')
Me and my old pappy, and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
And then he'd fill up a jug, and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin' (whew, white lightnin')
Well, the G men, T men, Revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryna book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'
