Intro :
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feelin'near as faded as my j eans,
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained.
It rode us all the way to New O rleans .
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was playin'soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping'time, I was holding Bobby's hand and then,
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word fo r nothin'left to lose.
Nothin', don't mean nothin'hon'if it ain't fr ee, no no
Feelin'good was easy Lord, when B obby sang the blues.
Feelin'good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mc Gee.
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
Yea Bobby baby kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's Looking for that home, and I hope he finds it
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.
Freedom's just another word for nothin'left to lose.
Nothin'that's all that Bobby left m e, yeah
Feelin'good was easy, Lord, when B obby sang the blues.
hey feelin'good that was good enough for me, mm
Good enough for me and Bobby M cGee.
La da da, la da, la da da da da da da
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.
La da da da da da da da la da da da da,
La da da da me and Bobby M cGee (x3)
