Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
Waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near
As faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
And 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
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey,
If it ain't free
And feelin' good was easy, Lord,
Oh!!! 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 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.

One day 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 nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all
That Bobby left me.

Well!!! feelin' good was easy,
Lord, when he sang the blues
And feelin' good
Was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Yeah!!!

La da da, la da daa, la da daa,
Da daa da daa, la da da da daa
Dadada Bobby McGee
Ah!!!
Laa li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa
Laa la laa la daada Bobby McGee
Ah, yeah!!!

La di da, la di da,
La di da, la di da,

Yeah!!!
Lololo lo lolo, lolo lo lolo la,
Lololo lo lolo, lolo lo lolo lo,
Lo la laa
Hey!!! now Bobby
Now!!! now!!! Bobby McGee
Yeah!!!

Lord, I called him my lover,
I called him my man
I said I called him my lover,
Did the best I can
C'mon,
Hey!!! now Bobby now,
Hey!!! now Bobby McGee,
Yeah!!!
Lo lo lord, a lord, a lord,
A lord, a lord, a lord, a lord
Oh!!!
Hey!!! hey!!! hey!!! Bobby McGee, Lord.
