Discovered Johnny cash 25 years ago after my father passed away. He used to call me Johnny Yuma. Found out why he called that after listening to one of Johnnies songs. I was only 8 years old or so at the time but these are memories I will never forget. Thank you mr cash.
Janis joplins version of this song is the worst one in my opinion. Johnny, kris, and Waylon all had good ones, and Gordon light foot did well too. But janis’s was not nearly as good.
You should look up Charley Price's version. There is the live and the record version. I think the record version is his best. But his is also from the heart. I think his better than Johnny Cash although he did a fantastic job
Been listening to Johnny Cash for 50 yrs now. I was a little kid back then who did not even know English yet (my second language). This version still makes me want to melt.... ;-)
Allowing other singers to sing Me and Bobby McGee, the song he wrote and sang, was one of many Kris Kristofferson's many gifts to this world. Great job to Johnny Cash, Roger Miller and others. And of course, Janis Joplin!!!!!!!!
Respect Johnny Cash.... Timeless Classic he is...moving people, swaying their heart across tim, throughout the globe, across bounderies.... Love and respect from India...
Johnny Cash is one of my top favorites Country music legends, I could watch and listen to him play the guitar for hours on,..but my favorite version to this song is by Charley Pride. R.I.P. to both Country music icons. 💖💖
Johnny Cash - Me and Bobby McGee Busted flat in baton rouge, waiting for the train Feelin about its faded as my jeans Bobby flag the diesel down just before it rained Took us all the way to new orleans Then i pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin sad while bobby sang the blues With them windshield wipers clapping time andBobby´s hands and mine we finally sang up every songThat driver knew Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose nothin aint worth nothin but its free, yes is free Feelin good was easy, lord, while bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me, for me, Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coalmines of kentucky to the california sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin right beside me Lord through everythin I done And every night she kept me from the cold And then one day near Salinas, lord, I let her slip away lookin for the home I hope she´ll find and Id trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday Holdin bobbys body next to mine
I came across Janis Joplin's songs in 2012. And this one is my favourite. But Johnny Cash took it to another height altogether. If Janis had the hungry haste of river in voice, Johnny reflects ocean's tireless waiting.
I reccomend you listen also to Kristofferson's version. He wrote the song, and his version of it is closer to this one but it has it's own quality to it.
@@iowafarmhandonajohndeere5902 correct. Kris also sang it but he definitely wasn't known for his voice. That man could rip your heart out with his writing
"Me And Bobby Mcgee" (originally by Roger Miller) 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. Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose. And nothin aint worth nothin but its free. Feelin 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 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. The somewhere near salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, She was lookin for the love I hope shell find, Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin Bobbys body next (close) to mine. // Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose, And nothin aint worth nothin but its free, but is 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. //
@@Pate-pn9ob I'm very sorry for the errors found in my lyrics. This version is very different from the original, it includes words that are not in the original song, I will correct it. thanks for the observation my friend
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained Took us all the way to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And was blowing 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 nothing' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done Every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose Nothin' left is all she left for me Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Buddy, that was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
It is not just that Janice Joplin sang this first; the lyrics always seemed to me to be from a female's point of view. Hearing this sung by a man, really puts a spin on it. Not many straight male artists could pull this off. Even fewer would try. Johnny Cash's open mind is a big as his talent and as his heart. Always authentic in everything he did.
Love Johnny and his cover of KK's song but Gordon Lightfoot's cover is my favorite. God Bless, Johnny. He is singing with the Lord his Savior. Thanks for memories, Johnny and Precious Memories they were.

What a great comment. Couldn't have said it better. Thanks. /CD

Anything the Man In Black touches is pure gold.
Truth
@@nderitugitau104 of it
Amen brother ❤
😂 he brought Absolutely nothing to the song
You brought so much joy into my life, thank you Johnny
Er war der größte Country Sänger aller Zeiten!!!
Johnny is like one of America's favorite artists and daddies. February 26, 1932 ♥️
imagine hearing janis and cash do a duet of this song, must be what heaven sounds like
Johnny and Kris*

@@randfreres3943 Agree!!!
@@randfreres3943 Jerry Lee Lewis ans Charley Pride have good versions also.
@@randfreres3943 Another great Version is by Roger Miller!!!
Thankyou Johnny Cash, pure gold and legend R.I.P.🙏🏻
That voice...so smooth and yet has that slight edge to give any song that extra kick, amazing cover.
I’ve never heard this version until tonight, he puts a whole different spin on the song! Makes it his own!
Hello Rebecca how are you doing today dear I hope all is well with you and your family? Have a nice day.
If you liked this, look up The Statler Brothers version. Much respect to Johnny, but the Statler version is my alltime favorite, by far.
The man in black is magic for everything..RIP for his légende..un fan français
You should look up Charley Price's version. There is the live and the record version. I think the record version is his best. But his is also from the heart. I think his better than Johnny Cash although he did a fantastic job
Johnny did this version on the Flip Wilson also
JOHNNY CASH sera toujours le plus grand
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose ...
But something to prove
They dont get better than that ...what a song!

Johnny Cash - Me and Bobby McGee
Busted flat in baton rouge, waiting for the train
Feelin about its faded as my jeans
Bobby flag the diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to new orleans
Then i pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin sad while bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers clapping time
andBobby´s hands and mine we finally
sang up every songThat driver knew
Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose
nothin aint worth nothin but its free, yes is free
Feelin good was easy, lord, while bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me, for me,
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of kentucky to the california sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin right beside me Lord through everythin I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
And then one day near Salinas, lord, I let her slip away
lookin for the home I hope she´ll find
and Id trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin bobbys body next to mine
If something ever is perfect it is Johnny Cash
Красивий чоловік, красивий голос.... Жаль, зараз нічого цього вже нема. На жаль. На превеликий жаль!...

Two great performances by Johnny Cash, "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Sunday Morning Coming Down," both written by the great Kris Kristofferson .
Tyler Leech me and Bobby McGee was written by roger miller
todd jensen no
Kyle Woods sorry first performed by roger miller
@@iowafarmhandonajohndeere5902 correct. Kris also sang it but he definitely wasn't known for his voice. That man could rip your heart out with his writing

Ich liebe diesen Song 😊und besonders von ihm 👍👍👍
Best cover
Kinda haunting in a way. Love it.
They will never be songs as good as this... thanks Chris and JC!

Charley Pride also has a different version. It’s wonderful. They are both wonderful.
Great song! Great version by the man in black. Thank Kriss, thank you Johnny and thank you Janis!

Johnny Cash was great, he honored other artists like in this case his friend Kris Kristofferson.
This song will last forevever
Greetings from Sweden
Can never get tired if this song love how he sings it
Grande johnycash
Hello Juan how are you doing today dear I hope all is well with you and your family? Have a nice day.
Mesmerizing!
Great song, great man RIP.
Janis and Johnny sang this in their own way and both nailed in my opinion I don’t think one didn’t do it better than the other
Fantastic!
WOW Johnny, God Bless You wherever you are...
Best version.
Eterno.
Love Johnny and his cover of KK's song but Gordon Lightfoot's cover is my favorite. God Bless, Johnny. He is singing with the Lord his Savior. Thanks for memories, Johnny and Precious Memories they were.
I agree. Gordon Lightfoot did the best cover of this great song. I love Johnny Cash too, he was something special.
c'est magnifique
RIP Johnny ❤
Ce voce minunata !
Outstanding
