Rose Maddox "White Lightnin'" |
Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills Lived my old pappy, we had us a still He brewed white lightning till the sun went down Then he fill him a jug and he passed it around. Mighty, mighty pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing (Ssshe, 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 (Ssshe, 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 'Cause my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Light was started flashing, thunder started crashing (Ssshe, 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 (Ssshe, white lightning.) --- Instrumental --- Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough I just gotta taste that powerful stuff Took one slug and he drank it right down And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasing, my pappy's corn squeezing (Ssshe, 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 (Ssshe, white lightning...)
