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
