Lyrics of Mother maybelle

Marty: many things have been said, i've heard and i've read
About maybelle, mother maybelle
A sweet virginia kind of girl, who's known all around this world
They all know maybelle, mother maybelle
She took pride as a mother and a wife
And she lives on the sunny side of life

Johnny: i could sit and listen by the hour
Marty & johnny: when maybelle plays the wildwood flower
Johnny: as the carter's began to sing, she would make her guitar ring
The sound of maybelle
Marty & johnny: mother maybelle
Johnny: along with sara and a.p., they sang sweet harmony
To the sounds of maybelle
Marty & johnny: mother maybelle

Johnny: she took pride as a mother and a wife
Now she
Marty & johnny: lives on the sunnyside of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten up our way
If we keep on the sunnyside of life

Johnny: many years have come and gone, but her music lingers on
The sounds of maybelle
Marty & johnny: mother maybelle
Johnny: the sounds of maybelle
Marty & johnny: mother maybelle
