Lyrics

(A)Well in of North Carolina, way back in the hills
There lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down
Then he filled him a jug and he'd pass it around
(E)Mighty,mighty pleasin,my(D)pappy's 
corn squeezings.........(A)(ooh-white-Lightnin')

CHORUS:
Well the(D) "G" men "T" men revenuers too
(A)Searchin for the place where he made his brew
They were(E)looking tryin to book him but my (D)
pappy kept on cooking.......
(A)(ooh-white-Lightnin')

(A)Well I asked my ol pappy why he called his brew
white lightnin stead of mountain dew
I took a lil sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
(E)Mighty,mighty pleasin,(D)pappy's 
corn squeezings.........(A)(ooh-white-Lightnin')

Chorus

(A)Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and drank it right down
And I heard him a moanin as he hit the ground
(E)Mighty,mighty pleasin your(D)pappys 
corn squeezings.......(A)(ooh-white-lightning

Chorus * etc...
