White Lightning Lyrics by George Jones

White Lightning

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning till the sun went down
He fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing [whew white lightning]
Well the G men T men revenoers too searching for the place where he made his brew
They were looking tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cooking
[Whew white lightning]
[ piano ]
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
And my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Light has started flashing thunder started splashing [whew white lightning]
Well the G men T men...
[ guitar ]
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I want to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing [whew white lightning]
Well the G men T men...
