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.
Omg i love his eyes, i think he have the most beautiful blue eyes i ever seen. This song is so good but every thing he sings is good, i just love Kris and his music and movies.❤
With all due respect, Janis Joplin had already died before her version of "Me & Bobby McGee" was even released. So Janis' legend was already set before people heard this song.
You do this so much justice! There isn't a time I hear it that I'm not with my dear brother, Bobby, who past away with Alzheimer's and knew all music.......Thank you for this song, it will always take me home..............
Celebra melodie astilului american ,inconfundabilul country care nu te lasă să stai jos fără freamăt de bucurie și satisfacție.iar El, el este un mare domn al acestui gen muzical !

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.
UPDATE : This still rocks mega, Kris was in Beast mode here. Great cause , great artists, great time to be alive 🙏❤️
And I’ll trade all my tomorrow’s for one single yesterday....what a line!!!
RIP, my friend.
I love this man's music ! Great band
Omg i love his eyes, i think he have the most beautiful blue eyes i ever seen. This song is so good but every thing he sings is good, i just love Kris and his music and movies.❤
He is a brilliant writer,I don't think Janis would have been JANIS without this song.
Gordon Lightfoot knocks it out of the ball park.Just my 2cts.
With all due respect, Janis Joplin had already died before her version of "Me & Bobby McGee" was even released. So Janis' legend was already set before people heard this song.
@@seanstrider2185 Yeah exactly... Big Brother and Holding Company were her excellent backing band.
You do this so much justice! There isn't a time I hear it that I'm not with my dear brother, Bobby, who past away with Alzheimer's and knew all music.......Thank you for this song, it will always take me home..............
Sorry for your loss.

Look how young Chris was.
Kris (!!!)
He was pushing 50 and his name is 'Kris' (Kristoffer).
@@musiclover9361he was 43 !!
@@davidday8417 no sir, he was 49. He was born in June 1936. Farm Aid in 1985, occurred on 22 September.
@@musiclover9361 1985 until 2024 is 39 years he was 88 when he passed away your right was 49 because 49+39 is 88 sorry my mistake !!
Kris Kristofferson has spent half a century being the coolest guy in the room. (Except when Waylon or Johnny were there too.)
Waylon and Willie are great and Willie has a "cool" essence, but Chris is pure cool, head to toe, inside out, heart and soul.
Just so Great to see Stephen Bruton perform on lead Guitar ...
That is an incredible edition to this amazing song, Wow!!
RIGHT ON,,,
Nobody ever sang this like Bob Weir with the Grateful Dead
just wearin it out, gents. real good... whuppin the hide off that lead gittar, stephen!
