Me And Bobby Mcgee Song Lyrics
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
And rode us all the way into New Orleans..
*****
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I’s playin’ soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin’ time
I’s holdin’ Bobby’s hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew..
*****
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’, it ain’t nothin’ honey, if it ain’t free
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 mines to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything 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
Well, I’d trade all 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
Well, feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
And feelin’ good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah..
*****
La da da, la da daa, la da daa da daa da daa
La da da da daa dadada Bobby McGee-ah
La li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa
La la laa la daada Bobby McGee-ah yeah
La di da, ladida la dida la di daa, ladida la dida la di daa..
*****
Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah
Lo lo lo lolo lo lo laa, lololo lo lolo lo lolo lo lolo lo la laa
Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah
Lord, I called him my lover, I called him my man
I said I called him my lover, did the best I can
C’mon, hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lo lo Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord..
Me And Bobby Mcgee Song Chords
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
feeling 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 blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues
with them windshield wipers slapping time
and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it’s free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
Feeling 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
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
searching for the home I hope she’ll find
holding Bobby’s body next to mine
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing left is all she left for me
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
