Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin ~ Woodstock '69

"Who you are is what you settle for, you know?"
- Janis Joplin

Eu E Bobby Mcgee
Kris Kristofferson

Destruído em Baton Rouge,
Dirigiu-se para os trens.
Eu estava me sentindo quase tão desbotado quanto meu jeans.
Bobby manuseou um diesel para baixo,
Pouco antes de chover;
Levou-nos até New Orleans.
Tirei meu arpão da minha bandana vermelha suja,
E estava soprando triste enquanto Bobby cantava o blues.
Com os limpadores de para-brisa marcando o tempo, e Bobby batendo palmas,
Finalmente cantamos todas as músicas que o motorista conhecia,

Liberdade é apenas outra palavra para nada a perder,
Nada não vale nada, mas é grátis.
Sentir-se bem era fácil, senhor, quando Bobby cantava o blues,
E me sentir bem foi bom o suficiente para mim,
Bom o suficiente para mim e meu Bobby McGee

Das minas de carvão de Kentucky ao sol da Califórnia,
Bobby compartilhou os segredos da minha alma.
Ficando bem ao meu lado, senhor, apesar de tudo que eu fiz,
E todas as noites ela me protegia do frio.
Então, uma noite em Salinas, senhor, eu a deixei escapar,
Procurando aquela casa, espero que ela encontre.
Mas eu trocaria todos os meus amanhãs por um único ontem,
Segurando o corpo de Bobby junto ao meu.

Liberdade é apenas outra palavra para nada a perder,
Nada sobrando é tudo o que ela deixou para mim.
Sentir-se bem era fácil, senhor, quando Bobby cantava blues,
E me sentir bem foi bom o suficiente para mim,
Bom o suficiente para mim e meu Bobby McGee.

Me And Bobby Mcgee
Kris Kristofferson

Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
Headed for the trains.
I was feelin' nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained;
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues.
With then 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,
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
Feelin' good was easy, lord when Bobby sang the blues,
And feelin' good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me lord though everything I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold.
Then one night in Salinas, lord I let her slip away,
Lookin' for that home I hope she finds.
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
Feelin' good was easy, lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
And feelin' good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Growing up in the Bay Area, I was blessed to see Janis at her very best….live. I still miss her!

🤝👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🇷🇴

I'm here crying!!I love her!!! Was to young back then ,but her since I first heard Bobby Magee !!

Hejsa, Hun gik desværre bort alt tidligt.stakkels kvinde.❤ Hendes stemme og musikken har betydning for mig , rent mentalt.👍🇩🇰🤗

Janis Joplin snd kris kristofferson perfect combination

She was the fukkn best female singer of all time!!!!RIP pearl❤I wish I could have met you!! But I'll see you an all the rest someday in God's kingdom..amen🇺🇲🇬🇧🇦🇷🇺🇦✌️✌️

I still have my tickets what a show

It's one I sing from the trees I work in.😮 yeah baby!

Why the director and producers of the Woodstock movie did not include one of Janis' performance in the movie is beyond me! She was not only a gifted blues singer with THAT VOICE of hers she was also one helluva performer! Love and Light Janis... ❤

"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose", still gets me, just think about it (and there's Seasick Steve: "Started out with nothing, and still got most of it left", good antidote!)

Janis Lyn Joplin war eine großartige Sängerin

I was 11 years old in 1969. Too young for Woodstock but JESUS!!!!! the music that came outta there. Nothin' and no one can touch it today.

Lindaaa ♥️

I was there. Even though the weather was awful, I didn’t mind. Never again will music like this happen. Never again will people be able to together and not have anything but peace, love and the best music ever. And we were lucky enough to have been there.

Cannot have another Woodstock as evidenced but #2 & #3 Devo had it right

Brilliant still gives gives me chills when I listen to janis❤

i wonder what the purpose of having a tom cruise lookalike be in the next dorm down in sdsu

I wish I was there but I was born too late for that. 37 years too late. They really don't make them like they used to.

🎉marcha

can you amagian cleaning that place up wowalot of trash

not me crying to Bobby McGee at 7:30 am

Only the good die young! 😢

I was one older than the Woodstock concert in 69. I was born during the Apollo 11 moon landing. My birth date was 18 July 1969.

❤❤❤ she is My Love, (RIP) 8180, D.C. New York; Constatinapoliticamente🌹✈️🎩💲

Это было ВРЕМЯ когда ВСЁ было НАСТОЯЩИМ- дружба любовь музыка и вино

I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday…. Epic.

Thanks to the documentary movie, I have proof that my momma took me as a very young kid of 3 to Woodstock. My mom is scene 19 times in it and it shows me dancing naked as a kid with no worries in the world. This will always go down as the best ever concert! It will never be matched again!

so unfair, was born in the wrong decade

Linda demais APENAS uma vez só falar com a paz o amor presente em SUA vida FELICIDADES MUITAS pessoas distantes da realidade é que nada tem como mudar a vida de um pensamento que eu vc diferentes não mais sim sonhar ok PARABÉNS por tudo

I too was blessed to have been there. Amazing and transforming. Let the music live on...

So waren wir in deinem Alter

Ooof, men were just soooo hot at this time 🔥🔥🔥

Janis recorded this 5 days before she left us. Rest In Peace

Who's the woman just before Joe Cocker?

April 26th code is: K SO

Imagine Janis for half-time show...

Great time. 💖 Best wishes from Belgrade - Serbia.

Listening to all of Janis’ music today which would’ve been her 80th birthday.

Janis Joplin was to blues-rock what Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald were to jazz.

Thanks for the footage. Yes, I was there...had no conception of what it was gonna be like until I got there...unreal. What an experience. Never forget Janis and Grace Slick on the stage together...they didn't sing together...they were contemplating the probabilities of electrical equipment vs. rain.

I've nostalgie 69/70.......because i"m free woman......i have 68 years .....I LOVE JANIS AND MANY MANY ARTISTS/SONGS/MUSIC IN WOODSTOCK...........forever

Janis had her "own" style, hard on the outside, but hurting in her heart turned her into a sensational performer.

Rock never really recovered from losing her.

"Freedom is another word for nothing left to lose" No shit.

I didn't make it to Woodstock, HOWEVER, in 1970, when the movie came out, I was working @ Theatre chain( walk-in& 2 drive-ins) 3 showings per day Thurs/Fri/Sun, 4 on Sat @walk-in, 2 per day Fri/Sat @ drive-in. I averaged 2 per day X28 days=56 times!! It has played in my sleep!! Is it a record?? I dunno. Boom-lakka-lakka, Boom-lakka-lakka, Hey!Hey!Hey! Now I know why I drink!!

Wow all I can say is so much for posting follow that

that womans white afro is incredible

Я мечтаю чтоб наконец создали машину времени..и я хочу оказаться там и навсегда остаться в том времени..спасибо Дженис❤️⭐

Maravillosa canción!!
