Maybellene Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins

Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Hey, 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-runnin' on the open road

Nothin′ will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin′ 'bout 95
She′s bumper to bumber rollin' side by side

Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Hey, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You′ve started back doing the things you used to do

The cadillac moved to a hundred and four
My phone got hot and wouldn't do no more
It got cloudy and started to rain

Tooted my horn in the passing lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin′ my motor no good


Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Hey, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You′ve started back doing the things you used to do

Let's motivate, honey, woo, damn, oh, supercharge it, honey!
Hey, blow, Charlie, blow!

Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Hey, 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-doin' ′bout 110

Turn led a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac movin′ like it's sittin′ still
And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Hey, Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
You've started back doing the things you should not do


Woo-hoo! Yeah!
Yeah-yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, burn, baby, burn, burn, burn!
Ghrr, ha, ha!
Yeah!
Uh!
Yeah!

Woo! Jump straight in, momma, yeah!
Woo!
Yeah!
Ooh!
Woo!
Ghrr, ha, ha!
