Me And Bobby McGee Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down

Just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my mouth-harp out of my

old dirty red bandana

I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time

And Bobby's clappin' hands we finally sang up

Every song that driver knew



Woh-oh-oh – Freedom's just another word

for nothing left to lose

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

Woh-oh-oh

Feelin' good was easy, Lord,

when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin‘ good was good enough for me

– ‘n Bobby McGee



From the coal mines of Kentucky to

the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me, Lord,

through everything I've done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord,

I let her slip away

Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find

I'd trade all my tomorrows for

a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine



Woh-oh-oh – Freedom's just another word

for nothing left to lose

Nothin' left is all she left for me,

Woh-oh-oh –

Feelin' good was easy, Lord,

when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin‘ good was good enough for me

– ‘n Bobby McGee
