ME AND BOBBY McGEE sing and play along

Busted flat in Baton Rouge,

waitin' for a train,

when I'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.

I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues,

yeah. Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine;

we sang ev'ry song that driver knew,

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

Nothin', I mean nothin', hon', if it ain't free,

no, no.

Yeah, feelin' good was easy, Lord,

when he sang the blues.

You know, feelin' good was good enough for me,

good enough for me an' my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun,

hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.

Through all kinds of weather, through ev'rything we done,

yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day anear 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', and 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.

hey now, Bobby, lo now, Bobby McGee,

yeah. And then when I called him my lover,

called him my man;

I said I called him my lover,

did the best I can.

Come on, hey now, Bobby, now,

Lo la lo la lo la lo la lo la lo la lo la lo lo,
