Me And Bobby McGee

Joplin Janis

Me And Bobby Mcgee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge watin＇ for a train

Well I was feelin＇ nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

that rode us all the way into New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty, red bandana

and I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues

Windshield wipers slappin＇ time, I was holdin＇ Bobby＇s hand in mine

We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom＇s just another word for nothin＇ left to lose

Nothin＇ don＇t mean nothin＇ if it ain＇t free

Yea and feelin＇ good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

You know, feelin＇ good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

>From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Through all kinds of weather and through everything that we done

I said Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away

He was lookin＇ for that home, and I hope he finds it

But I＇d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday

To be holding Bobby＇s body next to mine

Freedom＇s just another word...

Hell I＇d call him my lover, I＇d call him my man

I＇d call him my lover, I＇d do the best I can

I said now c＇mon Bobby, Lord, c＇mon Bobby McGee
