Chuck Berry – Maybellene

Lyrics

 

Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?You done started doing the things you used to do
As I was motivatin’ over the hillI saw Maybellene in a Coupé de VilleA Cadillac a-rollin on the open roadNothin’ will outrun my V-8 FordThe Cadillac doin’ ’bout 95She bumper to bumper, rollin’ side by side
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?You done started back doin’ the things you used to do
The Cadillac pulled up at 104The Ford got hot and wouldn’t do no moreIt done got cloudy and started to rainI tooted my horn for the passin’ laneThe rain water blowin’ all under my hoodI knew that wasn’t doin’ my motor good
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?You done started back doin’ the things you used to do
Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?You done started back doin’ the things you used to do
The motor cooled down, the heat went downAnd that’s when I heard that highway soundCadillac sittin’ like toad on a lakeA 110, a half mile aheadThe Cadillac lookin’ like it’s sittin’ stillAnd I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?You done started back doin’ the things you used to do
