Me And Bobby Mcgee (take 5 - Alternate) Lyrics - The Pearl Sessions (2 Cd) - Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train 

And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans 

Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained 

It rode us all the way to New Orleans 

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah 

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' hon' if it ain't free, no no 

And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues 

You know, feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGhee

From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun 

There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done 

Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold 

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

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

But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday 

To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 

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

Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah 

But, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues 

Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGhee
