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.

Janis Joplin is known for having recorded this song, but I believe that Kris Kristofferson wrote it.
Good catch. Thanks. I will adjust the description.
Kris wrote the song but Janice blew it up
Janis was inimitable ergo her talent
Janis Joplin only one
Agreed!
nice name of band.
Thanks!
Watched it three times, great version….good luck for the future 5:00
She has great legs
Do you know that Kris is a Rhoade scholar
That, I did not know. Thanks!
WOW, 😅we’ll done. Sounds a lot like Janis Joplin.
Thanks a lot John!
First made a hit by Roger Miller . . . before Janis.
Thanks for that info Terry.
