Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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 

Pulled my ol' harpoon out of my dirty red bandana 

Blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues 

With them windshield wipers slapping time and Bobby clapping hands 

We finally 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, so free 

Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 

Body that 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 

And every night she kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away 

Searching for the home I hope she'll find 

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday 

Holdin' her good body close to mine 

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

Nothin' left is all she left for me, for me 

Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 

Body that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

I still [Incomprehensible] for Bobby McGee
