White Lightning

White Lightning - Rose Maddox

Written by：Tommy Collins

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

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

Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough

I just gotta taste that powerful stuff

Took little slug and he drank it right down

And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground

Mighty mighty pleasing your 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
