I think,Kris is in the history books,as the greatest American poet....especially,once you hear,read and understand the story,that's behind each song...I'm sure,each story is very unique and powerful...
Damn right! Kris Kristofferson is one of the best songwriters ever! Especially the most melancholy. I didn’t know he played the harmonica! I love him even more!
A person who hears this song for the first time in 2020 will be knocked upside the head by its greatness. Just as people have been for the last half century.
I saw Kris recently at the Paso Robles mid state fair- a real highlight. This man was an Army Captain- Military-Helicopter Pilot-Rhodes Scholar-Boxer and one of the greatest songwriters ever.
My absolute favorite songwriter of all time. This was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar back in 1971. I still sing it and have never gotten tired of it. Kris Kristofferson is a genius when it comes to songwriting.
@@mrevert47 Janis recorded this song shortly before she died and it became a major hit for her. It was written by Kris Kristofferson. He also had his own recording of the song which received a reasonable amount of country airplay. My favorite version was by Country artist Roger Miller.
@@happyanderson2 I like Bill Haley’s version too. There was a personal touch to this song Hello from France. J'aime bien également la version de Bill Haley , il y a mit une touche personnelle . Bonjour de France !.
I think that he once said, after Janice recorded it, that it was her song, no longer his... he felt that she had done such a fantastic job on the song that it belonged to her...
Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch
Kristofferson first heard Joplin's version of the song one day after she had died when her producer had him listen to the recording of it she had made a couple of days before she died, this is what he heard >>> ruclips.net/video/WXV_QjenbDw/видео.html
When Kristofferson sings, maybe you don’t think ‘what a great voice‘ but he transcends that and takes you there to the heart of it. And you think ‘what a great bloke, what a great song‘. You don’t often improve on a Kristofferson song, but Janis certainly gave it a good kicking, bless her. And she changed the line in the second chorus to ‘Nothing left was all he left for me‘. Brilliant.
Mine too! They are in their 40s now and they love their music. Their Dad was a musician in Northern Manitoba and all over Canada! We all listen to this wonderful music by Kris and all!
Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch with you❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I think this great song will remain in the Top Three songs for many folks across the whole wide world. Thank you Sir and I am pleased to say that I grew up with songs like these. What a song !!!!
This is my favorite Kris Kristofferson recording of this song, the stars were aligned this night. Truly B-E-A-utiful! And a standing ovation, exactly what the mans life and deeds have earned.

Kris" Kristofferson💚💚Mind-blowing! 👉😍💓🌹 Lyrics: Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' 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. Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song That driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done, And every night she kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find, Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' left was all she left to me, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me. Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
Started watching why me Lord by KK leads me to watch his classic songs and his interviews! I listend Why me Lord 39 yrs back! in a church by an young man singing at the Sunday evening Service! Thanks so much for the life transforming song! All glory to God!
Janis Joplin sing a song call "Work Me Lord " but it was written by a another man. Almost have the same title as "Why Me Lord" the first word different . 🤔
MATA-HOURI Been a HELLA two decades Asking “WHY the F*KK Two F*KKin’ K”..?!? Don’t doubt (for a ganja-meme!) KK’s capades Are icing - already - my funeral bouquet So you know what I’m up against, Slowly but surly, Some “Soul Sistah” blitzed- Still so central to my story.
I love all of Kris Kristopherson music Kris Kristopherson in Concert,we saw Kris Kristogreat memories of thephersonZ We both have great memories off seeing him in Concert at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center for the benift Concert
Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch with you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kris was speaking in tongues people. God gave him the words. God is done with the covert (alias COVID action to divide his people). Storms are a coming. PEACE is coming, and I mean PEACE is coming to us all.
Kris is a singer, song writer, actor, American icon and so very sexy no matter how old he gets. His singing and writing is so real. I like the way Janis Joplin did this song, but even when she's wailing the blues we know Kris wrote it.
he was flying helicopters for PHI out of the Humphreys field in Louisiana, my father met him quite a few times. he would just sit in the hall and write songs. dad asked him what he was doing, he said I'm writing songs and going to nashville and gonna sell em. he never spoke a lot dad said but he was dads buddy in Gibson Louisiana flying for Shell Oil
Today is Kris’s 88th birthday. Opps, I guess it’s just after midnight so it was the 22nd at any rate. One of my favorites! I do hope he had a wonderful birthday!!!
Freaking my hero. Grew up in that era. It kept me young and focused. He's a little older than me, but age is just a number right? A Kentuckian salutes this great man. A hero.

That line "windshield wipers slappin' time....." has got to be one of the greatest lyrics ever written! Such a legend.
I think,Kris is in the history books,as the greatest American poet....especially,once you hear,read and understand the story,that's behind each song...I'm sure,each story is very unique and powerful...
Windshield gives lots of time to think. Love Kris forever ❤
This and Sunday Morning Coming Down never fail to move me. Two of the greatest songs ever written.
Damn right! Kris Kristofferson is one of the best songwriters ever! Especially the most melancholy. I didn’t know he played the harmonica! I love him even more!
Love the acknowledgement to Janis Joplin as she put it on the map for Kris and he has never forgotten it.
A person who hears this song for the first time in 2020 will be knocked upside the head by its greatness. Just as people have been for the last half century.
Kris is more of a poet. That's what makes his songs so great. What a talent.
Kris has gravitas and conviction when he sings. What a great soulful song.
Man! Nobody writes music like that anymore. What an era.
joses box Amen to that!
I saw Kris recently at the Paso Robles mid state fair- a real highlight. This man was an Army Captain- Military-Helicopter Pilot-Rhodes Scholar-Boxer and one of the greatest songwriters ever.
bruce...
Somebody does. But they don't get much popular.
Vern Pascal Nice. I was a chopper pilot too.
Kris is the man. I have listening to him for almost 50 years. No one like him....
Me too, the fifty years. First saw him in Cisco Pike, left the cinema, went to the record shop and bought silver tongued devil.
My absolute favorite songwriter of all time. This was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar back in 1971. I still sing it and have never gotten tired of it. Kris Kristofferson is a genius when it comes to songwriting.
True.
But I think this is a song of Janis Joplin
@@mrevert47 Janis recorded this song shortly before she died and it became a major hit for her. It was written by Kris Kristofferson. He also had his own recording of the song which received a reasonable amount of country airplay. My favorite version was by Country artist Roger Miller.
Kris and Willie best song writers on this lifetime.
@@happyanderson2 I like Bill Haley’s version too. There was a personal touch to this song Hello from France. J'aime bien également la version de Bill Haley , il y a mit une touche personnelle . Bonjour de France !.
One of the best ever song writer's, to beat the devil is just the ultimate
Eine sehr, sehr traurige Version dieses Songs. Man spürt die Hoffnugslosigkeit, die Traurigkeit. Auch ich werde traurig dabei,
If he had never written anything but this his reputation would have been secured. I'm sure glad he wrote more.
My favorite song of all times, nobody does it like Kris, he owns this....
I should own it, he wrote it!
I think that he once said, after Janice recorded it, that it was her song, no longer his... he felt that she had done such a fantastic job on the song that it belonged to her...
Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch
Probably the greatest songwriter of our time.
Amen to that.
Agree!
Joe Parks
Y,u,j
Joe Parks certainly one of the best for sure. I don’t think he’s received the accolades he should have for his singing, writing and acting talents.
Him, Dylan, and Prine are high on that list
Great song, you can tell that this song still touches him after all of these years and still makes him think back to Janis Joplin.
Kristofferson first heard Joplin's version of the song one day after she had died when her producer had him listen to the recording of it she had made a couple of days before she died, this is what he heard >>> ruclips.net/video/WXV_QjenbDw/видео.html
I love the passion Janis puts into her version , but Kris is spectacular.
That was a lovely name check near the end!
Johnny, Waylon, Don, Kenny, Roy, and others are gone, we have Willie and you chris, love you and long live sir

12:04 am on 6/3/21. Agree with you 100%. Tonight is one them nights. Sitting on the porch listening to the rain and some of the best music ever
@@nobodyspecial6513 great news buddy ♥️

Kristofferson is a great songwriter! But in my opinion Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time!
Greetings from Spain, great song
i was in barcelona, palma, malaga in the '70's in my navy days. good times.
This guy got me to where I am today.
No kidding!
I will always remember those 10 minutes when our two lives crossed in 1992.
Thank you Kris!
One of the best songs written in my life time.
There's only ever one Kris. Have so enjoyed this man's concerts on three occasions in Dublin, Ireland, a true gentleman.
Our children of today need to be introduced to this music! I know mine are.
Mine too! They are in their 40s now and they love their music. Their Dad was a musician in Northern Manitoba and all over Canada! We all listen to this wonderful music by Kris and all!
This is my son’s favourite lullaby and he is 9mo
Mine too!
This is poetry of its own kind. He s a poet he is a preacher
Nobody writes songs like this these days... This is unfprgettable!
Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch with you❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I absolutely LOVE Kris and his voice, his songs and all his music :-) Always have and always will
most underrated musician of our time

Got to love this guy. He is what all of us should strive for, to have a loving heart.
A contender for the best elegy in the English language as well as a masterclass in story telling in a few lines? Just magnificent.
I saw him in Cannes in person: he amazing singer and actor. Heavens can wait.
J'adore cette ambiance ❤️😍🤩💓💓🤩😍❤️💓💓💓
Best music ever. At top for song writer. With willy, Waylon, and dolly. Love this

Lyrics:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' 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.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song
That driver knew.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find,
Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' left was all she left to me,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
Love it. Simply as said.Words cant describe it, Kris....custodian of something very true in Western country music
Started watching why me Lord by KK leads me to watch his classic songs and his interviews! I listend Why me Lord 39 yrs back! in a church by an young man singing at the Sunday evening Service! Thanks so much for the life transforming song! All glory to God!

Janis Joplin sing a song call "Work Me Lord " but it was written by a another man. Almost have the same title as "Why Me Lord" the first word different . 🤔
Kris Kristofferson was a great singer, songwriter, and always knew the best person to sing his music!
Only one KK. Never be another to compare with his talent.
MATA-HOURI
Been a HELLA two decades
Asking “WHY the F*KK Two F*KKin’ K”..?!?
Don’t doubt (for a ganja-meme!) KK’s capades
Are icing - already - my funeral bouquet
So you know what I’m up against,
Slowly but surly,
Some “Soul Sistah” blitzed-
Still so central to my story.
Love Kris, real music, timeless !
Sou apenas um caminhoneiro Brasileiro que gosta de coisa boa esse é o tipo de coisa boa que eu gosto abraços a todos

Great song, the best song you ever written.
No probably about it. A true poet. None better.
He's right up there with Leonard Cohen!
Kris nails this song and Why Me Lord
Kris is a singer, song writer, actor, American icon and so very sexy no matter how old he gets. His singing and writing is so real. I like the way Janis Joplin did this song, but even when she's wailing the blues we know Kris wrote it.
