Me and Bobby McGee Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin′ for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
It took us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my old harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin′ time
Bobby clappin' hands, we finally sang up ever song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin′ left to lose
And nothin′ ain't worth nothin′ but it's free
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
And buddy that was good enough for me
It was good enough for me and Bobby McGee


From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin′ right beside me Lord through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she′ll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding her good body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin′ left to lose
And nothin′ left is all she left for me
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
And buddy that was good enough for me
Yeah, good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee
