Me And Bobby McGee lyrics

Artist  : Ramblin` Jack Elliot 
Song : Me And Bobby McGee
 


Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the
trains,
feelin' nearly faded as my
jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before
it rained,
took us all the way to New
Orleans.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red
bandana
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,
and nothin' ain't worth
nothin' but it's free,
Feelin' good was easy,
Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
and buddy,
that was good enough for me,
Good enough for
me and my Bobby McGee.

From the coalmines
of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby
shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right
beside me through everythin' I done,
and every
night she kept me from the cold.
The somewhere
near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
she
was lookin' for the love I hope she'll
find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a
single yesterday,
holdin' Bobby's body close
to mine.

Freedom's just another word for
nothin' left to lose,
and nothin' left was all
she left to me,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord,
when Bobby sang the blues,
and buddy, that was
good enough for me.
Good enough for me and
Bobby McGee.
