Rose Maddox "White Lightning" |
(J.P. Richardson) 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 pass it around. Mighty, mighty, pleasing my pappy's corn squeezing (Ssshew 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 (Ssshew 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 (Ssshew 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 (Ssshew 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 (Ssshew 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 (Ssshew white lightning...)
