Marty Robbins - Maybelline Lyrics
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
Well as I was motivatin' over the hill
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
Bumper to bumber rollin' side by side
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've done started back doing the things you used to do
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've done started back doing the things you used to do
The Cadillac moved to a hundred and four
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 passin' lead
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've done started back doing the things you used to do
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've done started back doing the things you used to do
The motor cooled down, the speed 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 Maybelline at the top of the hill
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've done started back doing the things you used to do

Marty Robbins Maybelline Comments
Absolutely fabulous it's as good as Chuck's version, mind you Marty can do more or else everything, rock ballads and best of all country, proper country not today's PAP
Well yes you are an ugly frog. Yes it's true you are that's a great name for you.
I always wondered what Chuck thought of Marty covering his song. Was he pleased or annoyed? I know Chuck had a liking for country music because he used to listen to the Grand Ol' Opry.
Yeah I agree with you a damned ugly 🐸 you are that's true.
He must have heard Elvis sing this live In 55 cause it's almost the same arrangement including the style of delivery that Elvis did on the Louisiana Hayride. Check it out.
Surprisingly good version .
very similar to a young elvis
This is one of several Chuck Berry songs that became major hits by Country performers.
re: maybellene: thanks imanuglyfrog. i ck' it out........roth1944
@ROTH1944 Chuck was the original and his version is actually called "Maybellene", if you wikipedia it you'l get the whole story behind the song...
ALL RIGHT, THIS WAS DONE IN 1955 !!!! WHO DID IT FIRST ????
CHUCK OR MARTY ?????? THIS IS AS GOOD AS CHUCK'S!!!!
Chuck wrote it and sold it to Marty before doing it himself on a 12" compilation called Rock, Rock, Rock a year later.
