Maybellene — текст песни (Elvis Presley)

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.

The cadillac moved to a hundred and four
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?
Oh Maybellene, why can`t you be true?
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.

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 Mabellene 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.
You`ve started back doing the things you used to do.
