[N] [G]
Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills, lived my old pappy and he had him stick.
He brewed wine [Gm] delighting till the sun [G] went down.
Filled him a jug and he passed it around.
[D] Mighty, mighty, crazy, [C]
pappy's gonna squeeze.
[G] Whoosh, oh, why did I
[Gm] Well, [C] he came and came and he really was too, [G] searching for a place where he made his brew.
They were [D] looking round the book and [C] my pappy kept a-cooking.
[G] Whoosh, [A] oh, why did I

[D] [C]
[G]
Well, I smelled pappy while he caught his brew.
White light just hit the mountain dew.
I took a little sip then right away I knew.
As [Gm] my eyes bugged out [G] and my face turned blue, [D] lightning started flashing, [C] thunder started clashing.
[G] Oh, why did [D] I
[G]
Well, he [C] came and came and he really was too, [G] searching for a place where he made his brew.

Well, the city snicker came and he said, I'm tough.
I think I want to taste my pamper stuff.
He took one slug and drank it on down.
I heard him a-moaning as he hit the ground.
[D] Mighty, mighty, blazing, [C] pappy's gone speed.
[G]
My goodness, why did I
[C] Well, he came and came and he really was too, [G] searching for a place where he made his brew.
They were [D] looking round the book and [C] my pappy kept a-cooking.

[D] Why did [G] I
