Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson / Janis Joplin acoustic guitar & vocal cover by Jack Straw

Kris Kristofferson's best known song was written in the late 1960's. First recorded by Roger Miller before Janis Joplin made it a posthumous #1 hit
in 1971.
A melancholy ballad about a couple of drifters and love lost.
Lyrics:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
I was feeling near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us 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
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
And feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby 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
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, through everything I'd done
Yea Bobby's body kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Looking for that home and I hope she finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
And nothing was all she left for me
And feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
