Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Dottie West

Busted flat in Baton Rouge 

Waitin' for the train 

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 

Bobby thumbed a diesel down 

Just before it rained 

Rode us all the way to New Orleans 

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

And was playing soft 

While Bobby sang the blues 

With them 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' ain't worth nothin' but it's free 

Feelin' good was easy, Lord, 

When he sang the blues 

And feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

From Kentucky coal mines 

To the California sun 

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 

Through all kinds of weather, Lord 

Through everything I done 

Bobby baby kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord 

I let him slip away 

Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find it 

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows 

For one single yesterday 

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 

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

Nothin' left is all that Bobby left me 

Feelin good was easy, Lord 

When he sang the blues 

And buddy, that was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
