- Kris Kristofferson performs "Me and Bobby McGee" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

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.
Kris is my favorite singer
Scott I always love that line.
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 !
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.
Love this man !
LEGEND.
WOW, Lyrics that'll go down in HISTORY Kris., but Jan is gives it life like no other...
freedom is just another word means nothing is left to lose.....
Brillant performer

Just so Great to see Stephen Bruton perform on lead Guitar ...
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.
bello !!!!!! eccezionale
Nobody ever sang this like Bob Weir with the Grateful Dead
What is the name guitarist to the left of the video who wears sunglasses?
