White Lightning Composer(s): J.P. Richardson Performer(s): George Jones
Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
(Chorus) Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
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 Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
(Chorus)
Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough" I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one s-s-sip and drank it right down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

White Days Of Spring Spanish Title: Días Blancos De Primavera Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
White days of Spring To awaken with the green that's sprung its perfume comes to give you a quick spray White days of Spring this blue will take your pain away farther than the cold, to some frozen corner
Days without peace, no longer will there be days without peace If you've already drowned from crying If you've already cleansed your soul anew Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining
White days of Spring flower in bloom waiting to give its all by barely asking you to look at it
Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining Because winter will return today is time for warmth Sunny day, may today be a sunny day Don't insist on looking back for one day, soon, days will freeze
Every Spring day Every petal carries a song that it prepared while the cold drowned its voice
Sunny day, may today be a sunny day If you've already drowned from crying If you've already cleansed your soul anew Days of love, days for giving, days of love
White days of Spring This white blossom of today holds the fruit May all of life shine in Spring inside and out the Sun returns

White Bird Composer(s): David LaFlamme; Linda LaFlamme Performer(s): It's A Beautiful Day; and various other artists
White bird in a golden cage On a winter's day, in the rain White bird in a golden cage Alone
The leaves blow 'cross the long black road To the darkened sky, in its rage But the white bird just sits in her cage Unknown
White bird must fly or she will die The white bird dreams of the aspen tree With her dying leaves turning gold But the white bird just sits in her cage Growing old
White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die
The sunsets come, the sunsets go The clouds float by, the earth turns slow And a young bird's eyes do always glow And she must fly And she must fly And she must fly
White bird in a golden cage On a winter's day, in the rain White bird in a golden cage Alone
White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly

Whistling Away The Dark Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Henry Mancini Performer(s): Henry Mancini; and various other artists
Often I think this sad old world is whistling in the dark Just like a child, who, late from school walks bravely home through the park To keep their spirits soaring and keep the night at bay Neither quite knowing which way they are going, they sing the shadows away Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true Whistling whistling here in the dark with you Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true Whistling whistling here in the dark with you
