[ guitar ]
In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down

I took a little sip and right away I knew my eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin' thunder started crashin' (whew whay soway) white lightning

Well the G men T men revenoers too searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin' tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'

I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff
He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin' (whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ]
Well the G men T men...
