Titel:             ME AND BOBBY McGEE

Interpret:         JANIS JOPLIN

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Busted flat in Baton Rouge;
headin' for the trains.
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans,
Bobby thumbed a disel down
just before it rained;
took us all the way to New Orleans,
I took my harpoon out my dirty,
red Bandanna and was blowin' sad,
while Bobby sang the blues;
with them windshield wipers
slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
we fin' ly sang up every song that
driver knew;
freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose,
nothin' ain't worth nothin',
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;
standin' 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
lookin' for the home I hope she'll find;
and I'd trade all my tomorrows for a
Single yesterday holdin' Bobby's body
next to mine;

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