Big Bopper White Lightning Lyrics

White Lightning Lyrics

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills,
Lived my pappy and he had him
a still.
He brewed white lightning 'till the sun went down,
And then he'd
fill him a jug, an' pass it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasin', you're pappy's
corn squeezin'
White Lightning

Yeah, the G-men, T-men, revenurers
too,
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
They were lookin',
tryin' to book him,
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White
Lightning

Well I asked my pappy why call it brew,
White lightning,
'stead of mountain dew.
I took on sip and then I knew,
As my eyes bugged
out and my face turned blue.
Mighty, mighty pleasin', you're pappy's corn
squeezin'
White Lightning

Yeah, G-men, T-men, revenuers
too,
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
They were lookin',
tryin' book him,
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White
Lightning

Well, a city slicker came, and said "I'm mighty tough."
"I
think I wanna taste that powerful stuff."
He took one s..slug and he drank
it right down,
And I heard him a-moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty,
mighty pleasin', you're pappy's corn squeezin'
White Lightning

Yeah,
G-men, T-men, revenuers too,
Searchin' for the place where he made his
brew.
They were lookin', tryin' book him
But my pappy kept on
cookin'
White Lightning!
