Merle Haggard - Me And Bobby McGee lyrics

rate me

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)

Bobby Wayne & Dennis Hromek

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed 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 pulled my ol' frenchharp out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowin' it 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

Feeling good was easy Lord 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

Every night she kept me from the cold.

And then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

Looking for the home I hope she'll find

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

Holding Bobby's body close to mine.

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

And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

Feeling good was easy Lord Bobby sang the blues

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

La la la la la la la me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la la me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la la me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la la me and Bobby McGee...
