White Lightning 

White Lightning 
George Jones
 
G                                             
Well in North Carolina way back in the hills
There lived by 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 passed it around
D7                       C         
Mighty mighty pleasing my pappy's 
                            G          
corn squeezings   ooh white Lightnin'
 
Chorus
         C                              
Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers too
G                                             
Looking for the place where he made his brew
          D7                            C 
They were looking tryin to book him but my 
                                  G         
pappy kept on cooking   ooh white Lighnin'
 
                                               
Well I asked my pappy what he called his brew
He said white lightnin stead of mountain dew
I took one sip and right away I knew
Cause my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
D7                       C                
Lightnin' started flashin thunder started
                     G                       
crashing   ooh 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 sip and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
D7                         C        
Mighty mighty pleasing your pappys 
                            G          
corn squeezings   ooh white lightnin'
