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

nd I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

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
