Well, way back in Carolina, way back in the hills Lived my ol' pappy and we had us a still Well we brewed white lightning till the sun went down I'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin', my daddy's gone squeezin' Sssh mercy, white lightning Oh the G-men, T-men and revenuers too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were lookin' tryin' to book him But my daddy kept on cookin', pprrrsss, white lightning Well my mammy asked pappy what he'd call his brew White lightning 'stead of mountain dew I took a little sip and right away I knew As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Well, lightning started flashing, thunder started crashing White lightning!
