White Lightening

Well in North Carolina way back in the hills me and my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin till the sun went down
Then he'd fill him up a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin my pappy's corn squeezin (whew white lightnin)
Well the G men T men revenoers too searchin for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin
(Whew white lightning)

We received a gift of moonshine syrup for Christmas.

I have been so hesitant to try it, thinking it would smell and taste of White Lightening  aka moonshine!!

We had biscuits for breakfast this morning and I thought of that syrup still sitting in the cabinet.  I thought to myself, now someone was nice enough to give this as a gift, the least you can do is give it a try.

I was so pleasantly surprised!  The closest I can compare it too is Karo Syrup.  It has the same thick texture and very sweet taste.  There was not a hint of moonshine. . . I think I was a little disappointed!

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
Lightnin' started flashin thunder started clashin' (whew white lightnin)
Well the G men T men revenoers too searchin for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin
(whew white lightning)
Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I want to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
