Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye. I gotta be seeing you around When I change my living standard and I move uptown, Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye. So long, my honey, so long. Too bad you had to drift away ‘Cause I could use some company Right here on this road, on this road I’m on today. I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled. Honey, I ain’t got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball, I got lots of things I’ve got to do. I know that you got things to do and places to be. I guess I’ll have to find the thing you placed on me. I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree, Still I guess you know honey I’ve gotta go. Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye. I guess you know you’re on your own, It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world And you left me here to face it all alone, You left me here to face it all alone, You left me here to face it all alone, Bye, bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye! |

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained It rode us all the way into New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew, yeah Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues You know, feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it But I'd trade all o' my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah But if feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da La-da-da da-la-da la-da, Bobby McGee, yeah La-da-la-da-la-da La-da-la-da-da La-da-la-da-la-la, Bobby McGee, yeah La-da-da La-da-da La da-da La da-da La-da-da La da-da La da-da Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah Lo-da-lo da-la-lo-da-la Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah Lord, I call him my lover, call him my man I said I call him my lover, did the best I can, c'mon Hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord! |
