Me & Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Busted flat in Baton Rouge 

Headin' for the train 

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 

Bobby thumbed a diesel down 

Just before it rained 

Took us all away to New Orleans 

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues 

With those windshield wipers slappin' time 

And Bobby clappin' hands we finally 

Sung up 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 Bobby sang the blues 

Feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and 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 every thing I've done 

Every night she kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas 

Lord, I let her slip away 

Searchin' for the home, I hope she'll find 

And I'd give all my tomorrows 

For a single yesterday 

Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine 

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 Bobby sang the blues 

Feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

La la la, me and Bobby McGee 

La la la, me and Bobby McGee 

La la la, me and Bobby McGee 

...
