The
music on this page is one of my alltime favourite songs.Composed
by Kris Kristofferson for Janice Joplin.
Here are the lyrics:
Me
And Bobby Mcgee
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,
I 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 fin'ly sang up every song that driver
knew;
CHORUS:
Freedom's
just another word for nothin' left to lose,
and nothin' aint worth nothin' but it's
free;
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby
sang the blues;
And Buddy, that was good enough 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
everything I done,
And 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 of my tomorrows for
a single yesterday,
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine;
Freedom's just another word for nothin'
left to lose,
and nothin' left was all she left for
me;
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby
sang the blues;
Feeling good was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

but others I have only met online. Many have helped me with
this "computer thing" with endless patience when I was a beginner
and even now, those who are ahead of me are always ready with
advice. I thank you all !
