Allison Crowe - Me and Bobby McGee lyrics

Me and Bobby McGee Words & Music by Fred Foster & Kris Kristofferson As performed by Allison Crowe Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train An' I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained I headed all the way to New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues, Lord Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song the driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Ah, nothing, honey if it ain't free, Lord Feeling good was easy, Lord When he sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold I pulled up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Ah, nothing, well that's all that Bobby left me, Lord Feeling good was easy, Lord When he sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee La de di, la de di da, la de di de di di da, la di da, la de di da Bobby McGee La da da la da da da, la da la la la da la La da da la la la da da Bobby McGee La da la la la, la da la la la da la La da da la d da hey, hey, I said my Bobby McGee, Lord Lo do da la da da da, lo da la la la da la La da da la la la hey, hey, hey, I said my Bobby McGee, oh yeah I said I called him my lover, called him my man, I said called him my lover Do the best I can, yeah, c'mon Bobby, now, c'mon Bobby McGee, Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord, hey, hey, hey, yeah, I said my Bobby McGee, yeah La da da la da da da, la da la la la da la La da da la la la da da Hey hey I said Bobby McGee Lord Lord lordy, lordy lordy lord oh Lord Hey, hey, hey, I said my Bobby McGee, Lord
