Intro
Verse 1
Well, in North-uh-Carolina, way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still.
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down.
G*
And then he filled him a jug and he passed it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin's
N.C.
shhhhhhhhh.... white lightnin'
Interlude
Chords
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
They were lookin', tryin' to book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'
N.C.
shhhhhhhhh.... white lightnin'
Solo
Verse 2
Well, I asked ol' my pappy what he called his brew
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
Lightnin' started flashin' thunder started clashin'
N.C.
shhhhhhhhh.... white lightnin'
Interlude
Chords
Well the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

Verse 3
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
Mighty, mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin's
N.C.
shhhhhhhhh.... white lightnin'
