Lyrics Maybellene (Live, Alan Freed Show, 1956) - Berry , Chuck
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
motivatin'
over
the
hill
I
saw
maybellene
in
a
coup
de
ville.
A
cadillac
a-rollin'
on
the
open
road,
Nothin'
will
outrun
my
v8
ford.
The
cadillac
doin'
'bout
ninety-five,
She's
bumper
to
bumber
rollin'
side
by
side.
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.
Pink
in
the
mirror
on
top
of
the
hill,
It's
just
like
swallowin'
up
a
medicine
pill.
First
thing
I
saw
that
cadillac
grille
Doin'
a
hundred
and
ten
gallopin'
over
that
hill.
Offhill
curve,
a
downhill
strecth,
Me
and
that
cadillac
neck
by
neck.
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.
The
cadillac
pulled
up
ahead
of
the
ford,
The
ford
got
hot
and
wouldn't
do
no
more.
It
then
got
clody
and
it
started
to
rain,
I
tooted
my
horn
for
a
passin'
lead
The
rain
water
blowin'
all
under
my
hood,
I
knew
that
was
doin'
my
motor
good.
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.
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.
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.
