Me And Bobby McGee
Ah one ah two
Ah one two three four
Well I was busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Oh Bobby thumbed a diesle down just before it rained
Lord it took us all the way to New Orleans
Pull my ol' harp out of my dirty red bandanna
Blowing while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin hands with mine
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
And nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Lord that was good enough for me
Yeah Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mine of Kentucky to the California sun
Ah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
She was standin' around the sun below
Through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
And then somewhere near Salinas
Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade of all my tommorrows for just a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another for nothing left to lose
And nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
But that was good enough for me
Yeah it was..
Good enough for me and a Bobby McGee
yeah
Ladi Da Di Da Ladi Da Di Da...
