Simon & Garfunkel » Mabellene Lyrics

Chorus:
(Oh) Mabellene, why can't you be true, whoah Mabellene, why can't you be true
You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do

As I was motivatin' over the hill, I was Mabellene in a coup Deville
Cadillac roarin' at the open road, yeah but nothin' but a racecar bein' fold
Cadillac doin' by 95, oh mama and papa in side to side

chorus

He cooled down, the motor cooled down
That's when I'd heard that highway sound
I kept back sittin' like a ton of leather
Got a hundert and ten a half mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still
And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill

chorus

(Instrumental break)

chorus

You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do
You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do
