Lo da lo da la lo da la
La da la da la la
Call him my man
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
La da da, la da da da
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
La da da la da da
It rode us all the way into New Orleans
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Hey now Bobby now
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
La da la da la da
Lo da la lo da la lo
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Hey, hey, hey
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
La da da la da da
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done
It's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
La la lo la la lo la la
La da la da la da
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
La da da da la da la da
Lord, I call him my lover
La da da da da da da
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
La da da
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Nothin', don't mean nothin' honey if it ain't free, no no
My Bobby McGee, yeah
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
Bobby McGee, yeah
Did the best I can, c'mon
La da da, la da da
We sang every song that driver knew, yeah
La da la da la da la da
La da la da la da la
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
La da la da da
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
La da la da la da la da la da
Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
Bobby McGee, yeah
I said I call him my lover
My Bobby McGee, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
But if feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
