Well, in North-uh-Carolina, way back in the hills

Lived my old pappy and he had him a still.

He brewed white lightnin' till the sun went down.

And then he filled him a jug and he passed it around.

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.
