Many things have been said, I've heard and I've read 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
I could sit and listen by the hour When Maybelle plays the Wildwood Flower As the Carter's began to sing, she would make her guitar ring The sound of Maybelle Mother Maybelle Along with Sara and A.P., they sang sweet harmony To the sounds of Maybelle Mother Maybelle
She took pride as a mother and a wife Now she 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
Many years have come and gone, but her music lingers on The sounds of Maybelle Mother Maybelle The sounds of Maybelle Mother Maybelle
