George Jones, Mark Knopfler - White Lightning (1994) lyrics
[George Jones, Mark Knopfler - White Lightning 1994 lyrics]
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'd fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasing 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)
Well, a city slicker came and
He said I'm tough
I think I'd like 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, 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
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Light has startef flashing
Thunder started crashing
(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)
Well, a city slicker came and
He said I'm tough
I think I'd like 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, 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)
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning till
The sun went down
He'd fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasing 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)
Well, a city slicker came and
He said I'm tough
I think I'd like 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, 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
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

Well the G men, T men revenoers too
