White Lightnin

(Ford, Ehmig)

I was born to a gypsy woman 

With lightning crashing all around my crib 

Doctor took one look, he started running 

He got two steps and lightning struck him dead 

The wind was howling like the devil come knocking 

The house came down, the cradle was rocking



He called out for a hoodoo man 

With a rock 'n´ roll attitude 

He made a sign with his mo-jo hand 

And the lightning done struck him blue 

I jumped out of that cradle 

Grabbed a black cat bone and said 

"Mama, don´t you worry, I was born to storm." 



*When lightning strikes and the walls fall down 

I´m a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds 

When lightning strikes, white lightning 

And double or nothing, baby, pull my switch 

I got a six string hammer,gonna scratch this itch 

I´m a white witch, honey with long blonde hair 

Won´t you step into my electric chair 

*chorus

*chorus

Yeah, rock me right outta my crib 

Put on the floor, hah, I almost cracked open my head
