#1.
EIn North Carolina, way back in the hills,

there lived my Pappy and he had him a still.
   AHe brewed white lightning till the sun was down,
              Eand then he'd fill him a jug, and pass it around.
B                           AMighty, mighty pleasin', my Pappy's corn squeezin'..
        E               called, white Lightning.

CHORUS:AG-men, T-men, Revenurers too,
Esearchin' for the place where he made his brew.
          BThey were lookin', tryin' to book him,
       A                      E               BBut my Pappy kept on cookin'..white Lightning.
