Well I heard the other day from some people who passed this way
They were saying you were untrue I love you baby no matter what you do
They say you'll leave me and I'm just a fool
All I'll ever be is your footstool
But I believe oh honey right now I believe in you oh yeah now
They say you're bad so bad but you're the best girl old Jerry ever had
Love me and leave me that's what they say I love you baby yeah come what may
They say you'll leave me and it won't be long
I'm gonna wake up one morning Lord I'm gonna find you gone
But I believe oh honey right now honey I believe in you oh yeah
[ piano ]
Well they say you're just plain bad
Well honey I say this you're the best girl that I ever had
Oh don't leave me don't leave me honey
They say you'll soon be gone that's what they say
Oh I'll love you baby yeah come what may
Honey I want you to hang around here and be with old Jerry just one more day
Cause I believe oh I believe I believe in you yes I believe

Maybelline why can't you be true oh Maybelline why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on an open road but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' about ninety-five bumper to bumper rollin' side to side
Maybelline why can't you be true...
Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water poured up under my motor hood
I knew that were doin' my motor good
Maybelline why can't you be true...
[ piano - guitar ]
Well the motor cooled down the heat went down and
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
Maybelline why can't you be true...
Oh Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline Maybelline...

Now when I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair
Well the blues don't get me gonna rock on away from here
Give me one more kiss hold it a long long time
Now love me baby till a feelin' hits my head like wine
Oh flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
Now flip flop and fly I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't you ever say goodbye
[ piano ]
Oh when I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
When I get lonesome I jump on the telephone
I call my baby tell her I'm gonna come back home
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump
I got so many women Lord I don't know which way to jump
Jump jump let's go now
Flip flop and fly I don't care if I die...

Well I'm a write a little letter gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yes it's a jumpin' little record I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven I gotta hear it again today
You know my temperature's risin' and a jukebox blowin' a fuse
My heart's a beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps a singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rockin' arthritis sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven they're rockin' in two by two
Well if you feel you like it go get your lover then reel and rock it
With one another then move on up just a trifle further
Move and groove with one another
Roll over Beethoven dig these rhythm and blues yeah yeah
[ piano - guitar ]
Yeah it's early in the morning and I'm giving you my warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle I'm a playin' my fiddle and I ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy little partner you oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she's got a dime the music won't ever stop
Roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven roll over Beethoven...

Deep down in Lousiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell
Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go go Johnny go go Johnny B Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
He sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
Oh my how that little country boy can play
Go go go Johnny go go...
[ guitar - piano ]
His mother told him someday you gonna be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people comen from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight
Go go go Johnny go go...
. . .

Got you on my mind feeling kinda sad and low
Got you on my mind feeling kinda sad and low
Wondering where you are wondering why you had to go
Tears began to fall everytime I hear your name
Tears began to fall everytime I hear your name
Since you went away darling nothing seems to be the same
[ piano ]
No matter how I try my heart keeps tellin' me that I can't forget you
It should ever be that you wanna come back to Jerry Lee Lord I'm gonna let you
Got you on my mind...
