Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' nearly as faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained It rode us all the way to New Orleans. I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues You know feeling good was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold. One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away, He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it, But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holding Bobby's body next to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah, But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. La la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la La la la la la Bobby McGee. La la la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la. La La la, la la la la la la, la la la La la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah. Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man, I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can, C'mon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah, Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Now when I go to work, I work all day,
Always turns out the same. When I bring home my hard-earned pay I spend my money all on Mary Jane. Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane. Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature, They all turn out the same. 'Cause they can't do nothing to make a man feel good Like my old Mary Jane. Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane. Now I walk in the street now lookin' for a friend One that can lend me some change. And he never questions my reason why, 'Cause he too loves Mary Jane. Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane. Well, I have known women that wanted no man, Some that wanted to stay. But I never knew what happened in this world Till I met up with Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane. Oh, when I'm feelin' lonesome and I'm feelin' blue, There's only one way to change. Now I walk down the street now lookin' for a man, One that knows my Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord my Mary Jane. |
