Me and Bobby MC-Gee Songtext
von Jack Jersey

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for a train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed that diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshields wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands
Sing up every song that driver knew
Oh, oh, oh.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Oh, oh, oh.
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
. and Bobby McGee


From the coalmines of Kentucky, to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord, through everything I'd 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 my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Oh, oh, oh.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Oh, oh, oh.
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
. and Bobby McGee
Oh, oh, oh.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing that is all she left for me
Oh, oh, oh.
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
