Me and Bobby McGee
Kris Kristofferson
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 the way
To New Orleans
I took my harpoon
out of my
Dirty red bandanna
And was blowin’ sad
While Bobby sang the
blues
With them
windshield wipers slappin’ time
And Bobby clappin’
hands
We finally sang 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 everything
I’ve done
Every night she
kept me
From the cold
Then somewhere near
Salinas Lord
I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home
I hope she’ll find
And I’d trade all
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
She left for me
Feelin’ good was
easy Lord
When Bobby sang the
blues
Buddy that was good
enough for me
Good enough for me

Waitin’ for a train
When I was feelin’
As faded as my

Through everything
we’d done
Yeah Bobby baby
Kept me from the

One day up near
Salinas Lord
I let him slip away
He’s lookin’ for

And I hope he finds
it
And I’d trade all

My vote is Janis Joplin! sandie
ReplyDeleteRubbish song but at least Janis could SING!
ReplyDeleteJanis Joplin for sure!
ReplyDeleteJanis, of course - always! THIS song is one of our favorites (tho I don't know why since we are not religious folks) but it would be good for your comparison postings since Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Elvis et al have recorded it. We prefer the Kristofferson version
ReplyDeleteyep, gotta go with Janis on this one
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! Yep, it shouldn't be much of a contest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Well, you would know a lot about rubbish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Adsila!!! My thoughts exactly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Yes, that is a song that Kris really did do a wonderful job with.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! It looks (and sounds) like Janis is the winner!
