White Lightnin` — текст песни (George Jones)

(Written by S. Wooley)

Well in North 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
Then he`d fill him a jug and he`d pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy`s corn squeezin`
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin`

(Chorus)
Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too
Searchin` for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept a-cookin`
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin`

(Repeat chorus)

Well I asked my old 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 squeezin`
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin`

(Repeat chorus)

Well a city slicker came and he said "I`m tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one s-s-sip and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy`s corn squeezin`
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin`
