Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Hank Snow

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains 

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained 

Took us all the way to New Orleans 

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana 

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues 

With them windshield whipers slappin' time and 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 

Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues 

That feeling good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

[ guitar ] 

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun 

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 

Standing 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 

Looking 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...
