Busted flat in baton rouge and 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 harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield wipers slappin' time

And Bobby clapping hands

We finally sang off 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

Feelin' 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

Standing right beside me lord through

Everything I've done

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

Holding Bobby's body next to mine

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

Nothing 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

Me and Bobby Mcgee

Me and Bobby Mcgee

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Me and Bobby Mcgee
