"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller, but best remembered for Janis Joplin's cover of the song, recorded a few days before her death in October 1970.

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
It Rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
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', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no
And, feelin' good was easy, 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 mine
To the California sun
There 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, Oh
I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But, feelin' good was easy, Oh, when he sang the blues
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, Mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

La da da
La da da da

La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da Bobby Mcgee, yeah

Hey,my Bobby, oh, my Bobby Mcgee, yeah
