Chuck Berry — Maybellene

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] As I was motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side [Chorus] Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do [Verse 2] A Cadillac pulled up to one hundred and four The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It done got a cloud and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good [Chorus] Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You done started back doing the things you used to do [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true You done started back doing the things you used to do [Verse 3] The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill [Chorus] Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You done started back doing the things you used to do
