Intro: *5 *1 *1
Verse:
*1>
Well in northern Carolina way back in the hills
lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' til the sun went down
P *2
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
*3>
Mighty mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeezin'
P *1>
Wiiisshhhh Oooow White Lightnin'!
Chorus:
*1>
Well the t-man, the g-man, revendoers too,
Were searchin' for the place were he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
P *1>
Wwiiissshhhh Oooow White Lightnin'!
SOLO: *1 *1 *1 *1 *4 *4 *1 *1 *1 *1
Verse 2 (played the same as the first)
Well I asked my ol' pappy why he called his brew
white Lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Mighty Mighty pleasin' pappy's corn squeazin'
Wiiiiissshhhh Ooooow White Lightnin'
Chorus (Exactly the same as 1st chorus)
Verse 3:
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I wanna tasted that powerful stuff
He took one shlug and drank it on down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' Pappy's home squeazin'
Wiiisssshhhh Ooooow White Lightnin'
Chorus
Outro: *1> (Fade)
