Oh, Mabel Lee, why can't you be true?
Oh, [Eb] Mabel Lee, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
_ I was motivating [F] over the hill, saw Mabel Lee in the coop of the mill.
Kind of like rolling on an open road, nothing I'd run my P-8 boat.
Kind of like doing about 95, bumper to bumper, rolling side to side.
Mabel [Bb] Lee, why can't you be true?
Oh, Mabel Lee, why can't you be true? _
[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
_ I kind of like pulling up to 104, my boat got hot and wouldn't do no more.
Gun got clouded and started to rain, I tooted my horns for the passing lane.
Rainwater blowing [F] all under my hood, I knew that I was doing my moral good.
Mabel Lee, why can't you be [Bb] true?
[Eb] Oh, Mabel Lee, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things [Bb] you used to do.

_ Motor cooled down, the heat went down, that's when I heard that highway sound.
I kind of like sitting like a toilet lead, 110 and a half a mile ahead.
I kind of like looking like a steady still, and I caught Mabel Lee at the top of the hill.
Mabel Lee, why can't you be true?
_ [Eb] Oh, Mabel Lee, why [Bb] can't you be true?
[F] You done started back doing the things you [Bb] used to do.
