R.I.P. both Janis & Kris. Kris wrote this gem & Janis knocked it outta the park!! You will both be sadly Missed, but forever celebrated by MILLIONS of fans worldwide.
Ahmed Khan...same with me and I'm 80. I don't know why I connected with her so much. Our lives were nothing alike but I had a soft spot for her, especially after I read the book about her life.
@@Judyp77 Listened to this song infinite times going down the road with my dad. He's not far off in age from youse twos. I cry unabashedly (by myself =P) for the love and life in this song. I sit and wonder what his own connection and feelings are on this ballad. He is so guarded. I don't know how I would ask.
@@SteelValyrian...you just need to ask him. You may not get another chance. You may be surprised at his answer. He'll probably be pleased that you asked. I lost my 74 year old brother 2 weeks ago. He had lived with me for about 12 years. So unexpected. I've thought of many things I should have asked him....wish I had ...😢
I didn't know any English at the time of the song, but i listened to it on my short way small radio and she's still a part of my life. Well remembered!
Her voice, by itself, provokes nostalgia, but when that same voice says "I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday", only tears; only god darn tears...
@@deanstuder1775 She didn't write it (Kris Kristofferson did); but she owned it heart and soul! I miss her madly; some wonder why; because she screamed why life hurt...
I wish Janis knew how beloved she was, unfortunately accolades from strangers rarely means anything, unconditional love from a parent does.. I think this alluded her, she was just way to special to stay on this Earth...... I pray on the long cosmic silver thread you found the peace and love we all deserve...
What a Beautiful Tribute for Janis. The best video of her version of "Bobbie McGee" So many memories. She didn't die...she just traded all of her tomorrows for that one single yesterday ❤ Janis
Hellyeah Janis Joplin the greatest rock and blues chick of all time. Amen🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤛🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 rest in peace QUEEN the rock and blues rest in peace
Janis was a class act who left far too early. At the peak of her very brief reign, she was unbeatable. She could sing with immense power ("Raise Your Hands"), or incredible vulnerability("Little Girl Blue"). Five decades after her premature death, Janis still remains loved.
@@angusm9419 I guess the point could be debated either way, but I know where you're coming from; Janis Joplin hailed from an era whose youth questioned or rebelled against authority / "the establishment," and with all the trimmings (drug abuse, sex, etc.); It's a great loss to the world that her life was so short because, sadly, she couldn't control her habits. And I have yet to see or hear a modern pop / rock diva who can hold a candle to Ms Joplin and her raw and immense talent.
Hard to believe anyone would or could say JJ was a one-hit wonder. She stands alone. Arguably the queen of Rock and Roll. So much passion and soulful expression. I have seen and heard alot, no one close to Janis.
I just found out about his passing yesterday. Rock'n'Roll & music in general would not have been the same without him. Will be sadly missed, but happily celebrated!!
@@tohellwithgoogle4261 the song was originally recorded by Roger Miller in 1969, but it is usually associated with Janis Joplin who recorded it shortly before she died in 1970.
She is and always rank among the all time best songstress of all time! Her purity , translation of raw emotions and raucous delivery were some of the best performances of that era!😊
That Pearl cover was hanging on my bedroom wall throughout my youth, as a precious Mona Lisa, down here in remote Brazil. That's how far and deep she reached. Eternal love.
No one sings like Janis! She puts all of her heart, soul and passion into her songs. You can be thrilled by each note she sings, even though these songs are recorded in 1960's. The magic within Janis's singing voice still and always exists.
@@dennissmeets4573 I agree with you. Every voice has its unique beauty and every person has their own taste. For excample, I love LP, Gilda, Jeanne Mas, Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Stevie Nicks, Amy Macdonald, Lauren Ruth Ward, Amy Winehous, Lana Del Rey, Loner Deer and many others, but my most favorite is LP and Gilda, for me they are the most special, the most soulful, heart-piercing singers of all time, I just adore them, they are the most precious, the most dear, the most close to me. But I believe that every singer and musician is beautiful in their own way and every person has their own taste and their own favorite singer, musician, musical band. ❤❤❤
Everything in Janis Joplin songs are beautiful ❤️😍. I wonder why people couldn't understand that those times. *'Mercedes Benz'* is genial! Listen to it and you'll realize the creativity in the lyrics. 😊
I like to think that Janis’s star burned too brightly 💫🌟. What a legacy of music and soul she left. It was a gift from her to help us out along on our journeys. Thank you dear Janis, you’ll always be Pearl ❤🕊️
I live in her home town. My grandpa went to school with her, unfortunately she was picked on a lot and people didn’t appreciate her….she left this world way to soon
@chnorwood3365 0 seconds ago Yes, Port Arthur was a very racist, segregated city. It did produce some amazing, wonderful people though, like my father, and my grandmother. Janis Joplin was so far ahead of her time and with such a huge heart for that small, narrow-minded town to have ever appreciated the extraodinary talent and soul she possessed.
Absolutely my wife's favorite song and since her recent passing due to cancer, this song will play everyday in our house going forward, as bittersweet as it'll be. At her celebration of life tribute the DJ was instructed to play this song every 15 minutes, and all 300 of us smiled and cried, and sang as loud as we could.
Thank you, Kris Kristofferson, for this awesome song that's still a major part of my life's journey. "Freedom is just another word when you got nothing else to lose" Here's to Kris, Janis, who sung this song like nobody else can, and to Bobby McGee, hopefully he finally found his home!!
They play this at the end of the documentary about her, "Janis." She didn't live to see it master the charts. KK was gorgeous and so talented. Wonderful song, perfect singer. Sad, but we have to be glad it exists 💖
I'm not sure why she's been on my mind the last few days. I've been suddenly fascinated by her life, short career and beautiful music. She had so much talent.
THE QUEEN!! Undisputed to this day!! Rest easy beauty, you've helped me through this life more than you'll ever know and I'm 40yrs old now, I still love your music and listen like I did when I was 14!! ✌️
My Dad introduced me to this song, in fact he introduced me to some of the best music I have came to know in my life. This video was release the day he went to the hospital and never came back. Feeling good was good enough Dad, you teached me that. Thank you for everything.
RIP Janis. You past away one month b4 I was born.. my mom listened to you while I was in her belly.. you have always been a part of my life. Even after your untimely passing.. Thank you for saving me with your music. Oh ya . Say hi to my dad. Y’all are probably jamming in heaven rite now. ✨✌️🌺🎶🙏
This song was played often in the early 70s when I was 9 or 10 years old. It would really touch me deeply and I would envision a little girl trapped in a dark hole crying for help.
@@durjoyjtbdoBecause we don't know tomorrow. We'd rather have what we know and the real love that is lost. For the record, I wouldn't trade my tomorrows, but I'd like to think I haven't had my best yesterday yet. Many don't think this way it seems ; _ ; Never lose your Bobby McGee, but don't try to find them either.
@@SteelValyrianI won't, buddy. I always look for new and upcoming ones, but I rarely get much. Perhaps sedimentation takes time. You are welcome to recommend. I'll be obliged to try.
@@durjoyjtbdo ruclips.net/video/r5If816MhoU/видео.html Sorry just thought I'd be clever. But honest I got to this song (listening again after a loooong time) relatively organically in my night. Hope you like it. Honest though she already sounded like raging fire consuming itself very early in her "career."
The most beautiful people Janis Joplin it's truly one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the privilege of listening to to me she is the epitome of strength and freedom her music is timeless and I will never get tired of listening to it I used to sing this song to my daughter when she was a baby back in the early 80s we would sit out in the field of daisies I would play my guitar and sing Janis Joplin to her it always put her to sleep and to this day and she is having a rough time even though she is in her thirties now she still calls me to have me seen Me and Bobby McGee by Janis
They sure don’t make awesome music like this anymore!! I have always said I was born in the wrong generation because I love music from the 60s,70, and 80s. But I’ve come to realize that there just aren’t artist like this anymore. Thank goodness we have all the recordings!!!
My daughter has loved Janis since she was 5. At 7 she begged to go to a Janis Joplin concert. I had to break the news she had died even before I was born. She was inconsolable for a couple hours. Now at 22, she is a free spirit like Janis was, and can do a perfect Rendition of almost all Janis’s songs.
An uncharacteristically mellow introspective number from Janis. In the context of the timing of "Bobby's" release-- 4-weeks after her passing-- it sounds like a farewell message.
Two others I could think of that could push out that kind of pure unadultered energetic emotion: Tom Petty and Meatloaf. Slash and Jimmy Hendricks does (did in the case of Jimmy Hendricks) it on the guitar. Also, can't forget about Freddie Mercury!
I'm (just like with Jimi Hendrix and The Doors) there's 100's, maybe 1000's of hours of film footage of Janis that's never been released. PLEASE officially release Janis's Woodstock performance !!!!!!!!!!
I was born in 67 and Im so grateful to have been here during the 7os. My mom and I sang and danced to all her albums, among many other awesome artists. She would hold Janis's album in 1 hand and dust with the other, every Saturday. Love those memories of us 3!!
I think she was finding her own voice. I prefer this folkie singing style to the earlier histrionics. To me, that was more showing off her pipes than really feeling into the song authentically. This is more understated but also more effective.
My friend met her at a diner before she hit it big. He gave her a lift home and said she was down to Earth and very funny. No one holds a candle to her beautiful, bluesy voice!
Same here, I have a friend who is 85 now and met Janis in the '60's in San Fransisco, and she too said that Janis was wonderful and very down to earth! It's no nice to hear stories about how sweet she was to people.
Saw the restaurant, Threadgills, which I understand was a launching pad for Janis Joplin's career, when visiting Austin a few years ago. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose", when I hear this song I'm thinking as I get older n my faculties snuck away one by one, will I remember this song which has folded itself into my memory from youth, struggling to make ends meet and now older, losing physicality it still plays a part making sense for me. Scarey lyrics, haunting tune. A great songwriter.
When I laid my best friend to rest in her grave, I heard Janis saying "all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" I cried harder than I had ever cried in my life. I was sobbing and remembering all the times she had kept me sane. Thank you Gracie, I'll never forget the unconditional love that you gave me. I hope that God may bless me with a love like yours again. People would say Gracie was ugly when they first saw her-but I would tell them she was the most beautiful thing I had ever known. And all this from an ugly cat who never turned away from me. If there's a heaven, I hope to see you again.
I read where he passed away, I was a baby when this wss popular. Janis was talented, the same to Kris. He never over losing his dear pal to drugs. Well they had a great reunion in heaven!
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's 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, 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 La li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa La la laa la daada Bobby McGee-ah yeah La di da, ladida la dida la di daa, ladida la dida la di daa Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah Lo lo lo lolo lo lo laa, lololo lo lolo lo lolo lo lolo 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
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide the lyrics to Bobby McGee. I used to have a pretty nice soprano voice, but now -- at 64 -- it's more of a husky alto. I love to sing, but I'm a shy perfectionist. I go to a karaoke place regularly with a group of young friends (in their 20s) who always encourage me to sing, but I've never been brave enough. I decided that this song will be my "debut" performance, but I need to practice at home before I dare go on stage. Sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted you to know that posting lyrics to a song can have benefits most people don't think of. Thank you from the bottom of my excited/nervous heart. You've made an important contribution to my happiness.❤
This was my first boyfriend 's favorite song and we used to listen to her music all day! I was only 16 and promised him to come back but 28 years later I returned to his city and found out that he had passed away 7 years earlier... R.I.P Osmar Bueno! I'll always love you!!❤✌☮
Janis got a big piece of my heart too babe!!! My ex of 20 years back looked me up 3 weeks back big cuddle in the street outside my house like nothing was lost between us. I bet your man be waiting in the next life!!! Bless ye big ol ' heart Luciana 🌻🤗🍺
I think I was in the 6th grade when I first heard this song but it wasn’t JJ singing it, it was my older brother. We lived in foster homes and he played this all the time. He disappeared just 3 years later and hasn’t been seen since, that was in 1976. Jay we are still here.
I know nothing about playing music but I think it must be an easier tune to play because my brother, like yours, played this tune when he was young too. Good memories.
she loved him, and it hurts that he's gone, but she still hopes the best for him and treasures the time they spent together so much that she can turn the sad song into a joyous anthem.
This is when they still made music that would stick into your head all day. Thank you, Janis - You are loved - You are missed. You could have taught some of these young punks how to sing.
Janis isn't a rock goddess. Janis is THE Rock Goddess. I've worshipped her my whole life. I will worship her always.
R.I.P JANIS💖💖🙏🙏💝💝 YOU WILL NEVER BE REPLACED OR FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree whole heartily ❤❤
Club 27 is a bitch.
She was so awesome!
❤AMEN. Will still listen to her with my dying breath!

I cry every time I hear her sing this song. so much emotion!! 💙
Magnificent rendition of a magnificent song. I'm 79 and this still moves me as it did the first time I heard it.
One of the coolest 79 year olds I've ever seen!!!!

I hear that I will be 58 on March 03
In 1969 I was 14 years old, this time and the following years never will come back ! It was the best time of my life, I´m shure !!!
I agree, I was seventeen.
I didn't know any English at the time of the song, but i listened to it on my short way small radio and she's still a part of my life. Well remembered!
i was also 14. and i would trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday too
For me too
Oh , to just go back For only one day
No one brought that song to life the way Janis Joplin did, not even Kris Kristofferson. Brings tears just to hear it. RIP.
Sittin'' ere with tears bud.
Gordon Lightfoot is still my favorite but got to love Janis!
Kristofferson did admit his songs sounded better when other people sang them.
@@chuckakers2855 Probably true 👍except for his perfect duet with Rita C for The Old Grey Whistle Test singing 'Help Me Make it Through the Night" 🙌
Mine too. Another legend lost recently.@@lindacurtis413
Happy Birthday Janis Joplin
Born 19 January 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas, USA
You died far too young. 27 years old
we miss you. R.I.P
That woman still gives me goosebumps every time I hear her sing. There will never be another Janis
Too bad more people didn't appreciate her, like her hometown ignored her during her high school reunion. Sad
Never!
Never!
amen
With that wonderfully dynamic base line right behind her, it just sends the song into orbit. No one like Janis.
Her voice, by itself, provokes nostalgia, but when that same voice says "I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday", only tears; only god darn tears...
I don't know if she wrote this or not, but that is one perfect line for the ages.
@@deanstuder1775 She didn't write it (Kris Kristofferson did); but she owned it heart and soul! I miss her madly; some wonder why; because she screamed why life hurt...
R.I.P., Kris. This song has made your work immortal.
Immortal...so right.
Janis Joplin took this song to a whole different level. Nothing compares to HER cover version, she was completely out of this world
As Kris said, she was telling him from the beyond, "THIS is how you sing it."
I wish Janis knew how beloved she was, unfortunately accolades from strangers rarely means anything, unconditional love from a parent does.. I think this alluded her, she was just way to special to stay on this Earth...... I pray on the long cosmic silver thread you found the peace and love we all deserve...

I love Janis Joplin, people say that I'm much like her,but I am not, I just love her heaps
People think of her belting out power blues songs like Try and Piece of my Heart and she was great at that but she could sing ballads beautifully.

A stunning old favorite. Only Janis cold do this well. Come back, Janis !

So much passion and soulful expression. I have seen and heard alot, no one close to Janis.

I just found out about his passing yesterday. Rock'n'Roll & music in general would not have been the same without him. Will be sadly missed, but happily celebrated!!

One of the best lyrics ever

Maybe Janis welcomed him on the other side singing this great song, Rest In Peace Kris 💙🙏🕊️
RIP Kris. You were always the man
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" I love this lyric!
This word of the song is also mentioned in the movie Soulmate (2023).
And I hope he finds it
Same
I'll trade all of my tomorrow's for a single yesterday,stays in my head
Windshield wipers clapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine..
One of the GREATEST songs ever written. No one could have sung it but Janis !
Kriss Kristofferson wrote that song he's a genius
@@helenheeney2284 Yes but she's still the best person to have sung it
The story behind her version of the song makes it even more special and yes Kriss was a genius 💯
"I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday" Wow that's a beautiful line
Why not the other way round?
@@durjoyjtbdoBecause we don't know tomorrow. We'd rather have what we know and the real love that is lost. For the record, I wouldn't trade my tomorrows, but I'd like to think I haven't had my best yesterday yet. Many don't think this way it seems ; _ ;
Never lose your Bobby McGee, but don't try to find them either.
@@SteelValyrianI won't, buddy. I always look for new and upcoming ones, but I rarely get much. Perhaps sedimentation takes time. You are welcome to recommend. I'll be obliged to try.

Sorry just thought I'd be clever. But honest I got to this song (listening again after a loooong time) relatively organically in my night. Hope you like it. Honest though she already sounded like raging fire consuming itself very early in her "career."
😅😅😅😅😅😅
The most beautiful people Janis Joplin it's truly one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the privilege of listening to to me she is the epitome of strength and freedom her music is timeless and I will never get tired of listening to it I used to sing this song to my daughter when she was a baby back in the early 80s we would sit out in the field of daisies I would play my guitar and sing Janis Joplin to her it always put her to sleep and to this day and she is having a rough time even though she is in her thirties now she still calls me to have me seen Me and Bobby McGee by Janis
All these years later and my heart still breaks when I hear her soulful voice...
This one's for Kris. RIP you Highwayman.
They broke the mold with him.
UUID’s hi juikikkujujjuuuuuuuuuuj

He was also smart, tough, sweet, and incredibly gorgeous
He died 6 days before today being her death...
人間の姿をした天使
彼女は永遠に私の心の中で生き続けています
日本より愛を込めて
They sure don’t make awesome music like this anymore!! I have always said I was born in the wrong generation because I love music from the 60s,70, and 80s. But I’ve come to realize that there just aren’t artist like this anymore. Thank goodness we have all the recordings!!!
My daughter has loved Janis since she was 5. At 7 she begged to go to a Janis Joplin concert. I had to break the news she had died even before I was born. She was inconsolable for a couple hours. Now at 22, she is a free spirit like Janis was, and can do a perfect Rendition of almost all Janis’s songs.
R Depagter How fantastic - good for her.... !! 😆💜
👏👏Nailed it👏👏
That's really...weird...
Wow ❤ 😢
L O V E X x X x
Does she have a RUclips channel?
An uncharacteristically mellow introspective number from Janis. In the context of the timing of "Bobby's" release-- 4-weeks after her passing-- it sounds like a farewell message.
dont get to cleaver for your own good boy
What a legend
Written by Kris Kristofferson for Roger Miller.
R.I.P. to the late great Janis Joplin. This is her signature song! A spectacular recording. A true icon!
And now farewell to Kris Kristofferson, the brilliant writer of this song.
Kudos to Krus for writing the besr song Janis ever sang.
❤ RIP Janis Joplin & Kris Kristofferson thank you both for some fabulous music
There will never be another Janis Joplin it''s great that we still have her tones - We miss you Janis.
Amy Winehouse. Similar talent & ending.
Two others I could think of that could push out that kind of pure unadultered energetic emotion:
Tom Petty and Meatloaf. Slash and Jimmy Hendricks does (did in the case of Jimmy Hendricks) it on the guitar. Also, can't forget about Freddie Mercury!
She and Yoko Ono on the same level.
I'm (just like with Jimi Hendrix and The Doors) there's 100's, maybe 1000's of hours of film footage of Janis that's never been released. PLEASE officially release Janis's Woodstock performance !!!!!!!!!!
We should sign a petition for it lol 😂
@Pauline v. Trujillo WTH are you even attempting to say???
That Woodstock performance is a national treasure for many nations. I had an old dutch friend that got me into Janis, best discovery of my life.
Show me any money or ruples
@@evelyngurzi1850 I don't know what you mean. But if I take your meaning, yes I'd pay a good price for Janis's Woodstock video :-)
I was born in 67 and Im so grateful to have been here during the 7os. My mom and I sang and danced to all her albums, among many other awesome artists. She would hold Janis's album in 1 hand and dust with the other, every Saturday. Love those memories of us 3!!
The "good enough for me and my Bobbie McGee" part gives me chills. So glad I found this song
Am I the only guy who tears up every time he hears her voice? Seriously, EVERY TIME - still... after 50 years
I think she was finding her own voice. I prefer this folkie singing style to the earlier histrionics. To me, that was more showing off her pipes than really feeling into the song authentically. This is more understated but also more effective.
You're not alone...me too...after 35 years and forever!!
Not tears, but feel some movement in the nether regions.
Nope... I feel it
Me too david
My friend met her at a diner before she hit it big. He gave her a lift home and said she was down to Earth and very funny. No one holds a candle to her beautiful, bluesy voice!
I would have GIVEN ANYTHING to have met Janis Joplin...she was my idol and the reason I became a blues singer till THIS day!!!!
@@jenniferwest3490
I would've loved that too!
Same here, I have a friend who is 85 now and met Janis in the '60's in San Fransisco, and she too said that Janis was wonderful and very down to earth! It's no nice to hear stories about how sweet she was to people.
Freedom is just another word...💔💔💔
Exactly😊
Saw the restaurant, Threadgills, which I understand was a launching pad for Janis Joplin's career, when visiting Austin a few years ago. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose", when I hear this song I'm thinking as I get older n my faculties snuck away one by one, will I remember this song which has folded itself into my memory from youth, struggling to make ends meet and now older, losing physicality it still plays a part making sense for me. Scarey lyrics, haunting tune. A great songwriter.
When I laid my best friend to rest in her grave, I heard Janis saying "all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" I cried harder than I had ever cried in my life. I was sobbing and remembering all the times she had kept me sane. Thank you Gracie, I'll never forget the unconditional love that you gave me. I hope that God may bless me with a love like yours again. People would say Gracie was ugly when they first saw her-but I would tell them she was the most beautiful thing I had ever known. And all this from an ugly cat who never turned away from me. If there's a heaven, I hope to see you again.
Janis was a fantastic singer ! She's a queen of voice!God bless her soul!
RIP Janis Happy bday
I read where he passed away, I was a baby when this wss popular. Janis was talented, the same to Kris. He never over losing his dear pal to drugs. Well they had a great reunion in heaven!
"freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"❤❤❤❤❤
R.I.P Kris Kristofferson ...88.. he had a helluva ride!
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's 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, 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
La li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa
La la laa la daada Bobby McGee-ah yeah
La di da, ladida la dida la di daa, ladida la dida la di daa
Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah
Lo lo lo lolo lo lo laa, lololo lo lolo lo lolo lo lolo 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
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide the lyrics to Bobby McGee. I used to have a pretty nice soprano voice, but now -- at 64 -- it's more of a husky alto.
I love to sing, but I'm a shy perfectionist. I go to a karaoke place regularly with a group of young friends (in their 20s) who always encourage me to sing, but I've never been brave enough.
I decided that this song will be my "debut" performance, but I need to practice at home before I dare go on stage.
Sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted you to know that posting lyrics to a song can have benefits most people don't think of.
Thank you from the bottom of my excited/nervous heart. You've made an important contribution to my happiness.❤
Thanks so much for the lyrics 👏
Not being American, some of the words are hard to grasp. Thank you.
You can just tell those were written with love.
Great Kris Kristofferson lyrics. RIP
This was my first boyfriend 's favorite song and we used to listen to her music all day! I was only 16 and promised him to come back but 28 years later I returned to his city and found out that he had passed away 7 years earlier... R.I.P Osmar Bueno! I'll always love you!!❤✌☮
Janis got a big piece of my heart too babe!!! My ex of 20 years back looked me up 3 weeks back big cuddle in the street outside my house like nothing was lost between us. I bet your man be waiting in the next life!!! Bless ye big ol ' heart Luciana 🌻🤗🍺
Thats so 😥
@@carlhaydock1787 yeah...😔
She's a great singer, her songs still brings up memories till date, great American icon
❤
I think I was in the 6th grade when I first heard this song but it wasn’t JJ singing it, it was my older brother. We lived in foster homes and he played this all the time. He disappeared just 3 years later and hasn’t been seen since, that was in 1976. Jay we are still here.
I know nothing about playing music but I think it must be an easier tune to play because my brother, like yours, played this tune when he was young too. Good memories.
wow.. i hope you've heard from him.
@@swamivicky
No we haven’t, maybe lost forever. He was so cool to me
I was born on 19 January 1972 and i looooove Janis Joplin ❤❤❤❤ R.I.P.
THE SECOND BEST ROCK AND ROLL OF JANIS JOPLIN ! RIP!
Rest in peace, Chris. A legend never dies
*Kris
I ran away at age 15 & married a 24 year old man (love of my life). We loved Janis. Now it reminds me of those magical days! ✌🏻 1972
um ok
Wait! You weren't a propistuit and you married a pimp and your not dead?!
@@shayshay9764 yeah tf
How romantic. Lucky you 😊.
0:23 Love how the Drums and Bass come in
God given talent, unique voice, unforgettable song.
November 2024...still savouring this masterpiece of Kris Kristoferson sung wonderfully byJanis Joplin
Janis passed way before I had a chance to really appreciate her music, but here I am now loving every minute of it.
I was listening Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendriks as I was young. I find them still be now, join me when living gets harsh.
'join me when living gets harsh' - I must remember that. Thank you.
she loved him, and it hurts that he's gone, but she still hopes the best for him and treasures the time they spent together so much that she can turn the sad song into a joyous anthem.
Hey bud I’m crying now lol
She has that ability
Tears cuz she sings her guts and soul out
And we hear her !
Touches us deep inside
''Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose'' R.I.W , Rest in Woke , my friend
KK you are still the man. I remember hearing why me as a kid. I did not understand it until 20 years later when I was reborn. Thank you and R.I.P
This is when they still made music that would stick into your head all day. Thank you, Janis - You are loved - You are missed. You could have taught some of these young punks how to sing.
You got that right!
Gone but never forgotten
