Janis Joplin : Me and My Bobby Mcgee Lyrics

Songwriters: Foster, Fred L; Kristofferson, Kristoffer;

. Send "Me and My Bobby Mcgee" Ringtone to your Cell .

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And it's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
It rode us all the way into New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
It's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew, yeah

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' honey 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 McGee

From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that 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 one 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 if 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 McGee

La da da, la da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da la da la da
Bobby McGee, yeah

La da la da la da
La da la da da
La da la da la la
Bobby McGee, yeah

La da da, la da da
La da da la da da
La da da la da da
La da da
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
My Bobby McGee, yeah

Lo da lo da la lo da la
Lo da la lo da la lo
La la lo la la lo la la
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
My Bobby McGee, yeah

Lord, I call him my lover
Call him my man
I said I call him my lover
Did the best I can, c'mon
Hey now Bobby now
Hey now Bobby McGee, yeah

La da la da la da la da la da
La da la da la da
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

La da la da la da la da
La da la da la da la
Hey, hey, hey
Bobby McGee, yeah
