Feb 16, 2026
Kris Kristofferson wrote Me And Bobby McGee along with record producer Fred Foster .The song was famously recorded by the late Janis Joplin whose version reached number one in 1971.
[C] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
feelin’ nearly faded as my [G7] jeans
[G7] Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or [C] leans
[C] I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the [F] blues,
[F] With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and [C] Bobby clapping hands with mine
We [G7] sang every song that driver [C] knew
[F] Freedom’s just another word for [C] nothing left to lose
[G7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [C] free
[F] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [C] Bobby sang the blues
[G7] Feeling good was good enough for me; good enough for me and bobby Mc [C] Gee.
From the [C] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my [G7] soul
