Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Singles - Joplin Janis

Butterflied in Maton Rouge, headin' for the train 

Feelin' nearly faded at Marquee's 

Bobby found the diesel down, just before it rained 

Took us all the way to New Orleans 

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues 

With that windshield wiper slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands 

We finally sang up every song that driver knew 

Chorus: 

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

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

Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues 

Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun 

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 

Standin' right beside me, through everything I've done 

And every night he kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away 

Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find 

And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday 

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 

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

And nothin' left is all he left for me 

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

Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee 

I let him slip away, lookin' for that home I hope he'll find 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee... (to fade)
