Maybellene
Chuck Berry
Maybellene (Original Version)
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
As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coupé DeVille
A Cadillac a-rolling on the open road
Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doing 'bout ninety-five
She's bumper to bumber rolling side by side
Chorus
A Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passing lead
The rain water blowing all under my hood
I knew that was doing my motor no good
Chorus x2
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sitting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac looking like it's sitting still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
