Nana Mouskouri - Me and bobby mc gee lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down

Just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of
My dirty red bandanna

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 is just another word for
Nothing left to lose
Nothing don't mean nothing honey
If it ain't free, now now

And feeling good was easy, Lord
When he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather

Through everything that we done
Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away

He's looking for that home and
I hope he finds it but I'd trade all of my
Tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom is just another word for
Nothing left to lose
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But feeling good was easy, Lord

When he sang the blues
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me
Hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la
La La la, la la la la la la
La La la la la la la la la
Hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na

Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man
I said I'm calling my lover
Just the best I can

C'mon, where is Bobby now
Where is Bobby McGee, yeah
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy
Lordy Lordy Lord

Hey, hey hey Bobby McGee, Lord! yeah! Whew!
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy
Lordy Lordy Lord hey hey hey Bobby McGee
