Demo (Take 5) 20 07 1970

S130 is not on. Not that I`m playin` that great
but still in all I oughta be able to hear it,
y`know what I mean ?

Are you hearing it now ?

No. Now. It`s too loud. I can`t play that good.
Am I havin` some of that Texas accent back ?

I hope so.

But I always sound like this, man, I hear myself
on tape I always sound like this.

Take 5.

God! Shall I start that way ? Ready ?

Over to you baby.

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I`s feelin` nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it
rained,
It rode us all the way in to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
An` I`s playin` soft while Bobby sang the blues,
yeah.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding
Bobby`s hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to
lose,
Nothing don`t mean nothing honey if it ain`t
free.
Yeah, an` feeling good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang
the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me, hmm
mm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California
sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything
that we done,
Said Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip
away,
But he was 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 nothing left to
lose,
Nothing, that`s all that Bobby left me, yeah.
Feelin` good was easy, Lord, Bobby he sang the
blues,
I said feeling good was good enough for me, hmm
mm,
It`s good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la, Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la la la,
La la la, la la la la la la,
Na na na na na na na na, Bobby McGee, yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na,
Hey now Bobby Lord, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Hell, I`m calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I`m calling my lover, I do the best I can,
I said now c`mon,Bobby now, come on Bobby McGee,
yeah.
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah!

That`s when somebody else has to take over.
