[00:07.64]Well, in the North of Carolina, way back in the hills

[00:11.45]Me and my old pappy and he had him a still

[00:14.49]He brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down

[00:17.77]And then you'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around

[00:21.19]Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappy's corn squeezin'

[00:24.49]Sh, white lightnin'

[00:30.45]Well, the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

[00:34.27]Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

[00:37.27]They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept on cookin'

[00:41.06]Phoo, white lightnin'

[01:02.92]Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

[01:06.99]White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew

[01:10.00]I took a little sip and right away I knew

[01:12.88]As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

[01:16.46]Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin'

[01:20.24]Sh, white lightnin'

[01:26.03]Well, the "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

[01:29.80]Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

[01:32.72]They were looking, tryin to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'

[01:36.64]Sh, white lightnin'

[01:58.46]Well, a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"

[02:02.24]I think I want to taste that powerful stuff

[02:05.48]He took one s-slug and drank it right down

[02:08.62]And I heard him a-moaning as he hit the ground

[02:12.00]Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin'

[02:16.06]Shoo, white lightnin'

[02:22.08]The "G" men, "T" men, revenuers, too

[02:25.28]Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

[02:28.38]They were looking, tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'

[02:31.04]Sh, white lightnin'
