Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby McGee (Audio) 

Here after news of Kris Kristofferson's passing. RIP Kris. You sure had a helluva run.

1:17 still one of the finest songs ever written and sung.

"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday...." How great is this line! Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

RIP Kris Kristofferson

I am a 67 years old black dude. In high school, this girl sat next to me in class, and she always had a Janis Tee Shirt on. I asked her, who is that? The next day she brought me her album and keep it for a few days. I have been hooked every since.

Rest in peace Kris you wrote this masterpiece and Janis sang it like no one could ever your Beautiful Janis rip

Kristofferson passed away yesterday. He should be considered one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Janis you will always own this song no one could every come close to you

We lost her 50 years ago today but she lives on through her incredible music

My dads fave lady ever... he died in 2007 of cancer..played this at his funeral.. he was in love w Janis... he is up there partying with her for sure!! Thank you dad for introducing me to this awesome voice!!!

Who’s listening in 2024 🎉

Sing Country in Heaven Kris, the World will Miss you and your Great Talent.

My dad passed away about 8 years ago from cancer when I was about 15. This was his go to song to pump himself when he was feeling down. Will always be grateful to Janis Joplin for this song

My wife passed away from cancer at age 43. This was her favorite song and she introduced me to joplin. This song is for you Karen Vera, love of my life. I miss you everyday.

Janis Joplin is one of my all time favorite singers she always makes my blues go away

The last few seconds of this track is one of the greatest moments in pop music history.

I've enjoyed Drag racing from a young age. In 1971 I won my first event at Thunder Ridge Raceway! In the fifth round I was racing a Heavy Chevy, I was driving a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T with a 440 MAGNUM This song was playing on (8-Track Tape) I won the race, fifth of the day an took home the Trophy and thanked Janis for keeping me calm and focused for the win!

Kris, I hope you’re partying with Janis up there. Know that you were loved.

Janis Joplin was NOT a one-hit wonder!! That's insulting. She kicked open the doors for all the female rock performers after her (for better AND worse). They all owe so much to her.

Fantastic and classic. Rest well Kris and Janis ❤️

Many artists covered this song but it really belonged to Janis. She poured out her heart and sould and sang the hell out of it

My dad met Janis when him and his friend Richard Mann hitchhiked from Virginia to California playing music. My dad said she was sitting on the curb and he took a picture of her and she signed it. I still have this picture. It's like priceless!

faboulous sONG, Mitic ,IMMORTAL...You JANIS AND KRIS LIVES 4 EVER IN THIS EONDERFUL MASTERPIECE !!! ❤️❤️❤️

No one sang this like Janis. Thanks Kris for your songs.

Thank you Kris for writing this for Janis and the world.

Janis Joplin the Queen of Rock!!!! She was one of a kind. A voice like no other. R.I.P Janis. You will live on in your music!!!!

The emotion in Janis's voice is uniquely moving and amazing. RIP Janis. And thank you.

Gotta love Pearl! She had the voice that poured her heart and soul into every song she sang!

I'm my my youth in a little country town...all I'd heard was church music and Anzac Day marches..I walked down the dirt street I lived on.. and from the speaker out side Cunninghams hardware store .. came this song.... My life changed forever...

Janis put her whole soul into every tune. Fantastic!

Its breaking my heart to hear her voice my mother was infatuated with her. I grew up on her voice and she makes me remember my mother more clearly then any memories I have

After all these years. I was young 10 maybe. But I remember I play it. My kids and grandkids know it. Not forgotten Janice.

That voice touches your soul!..

A one hit wonder?? She has so many hits!! She led the way for everyone today!!😊

R.I.P., Kris, and thanks for… everything. 😢

JANIS JOPLIN FOREVER 🟣 !!!

Happy heavenly 80th, Janis 🥳

Nobody can sing like Janis!!! I loved her. I still listen to her music . She had soul!!!

Thank you Kris and Janis for soulful music to soothe my heart and soul R.I.P.

never underestimate a mother who listens to Janis Joplin

This song is so haunting. I love it.

Who’s listening in honor of Kris Kristofferson RIP. Now you and Janis, Jimi can jam 💫🎹🎸

RIP Janis Joplin. This song's dedicated in memory of her.

“Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.” Genius.

She was before my time...I was born in the 70s but I grew up listening to her and this is my favorite song by her!

I always loved her. Her voice was magic, I was a teen and I couldn't stop listening to her. I had all her LPs, bootlegs included, but unfortunately I have been obligated to sell everything because of money, I regret that, but no choice at that time. RIP Janis! You'll always be in my heart.

Janis was an amazing singer in her days. I love everything about her . Her songs kicked ass. Thank you Janis for all your heart touching music.

There was a time when we were all young, where we lived in freedom and health, where sex and love were new and mysterious and wonderful, and we thought it was never going to end. Then, something happened: a graduation, a pregnancy, a job, something perhaps joyous in itself, but our lives changed forever and we can never go back. Life is still good, but I'd still trade all of my tomorrows for just a single yesterday

REst in peace Kris

A trade a hellava lot to have met Janis Joblin, anyone who sings like that must have sweet soul , that voice just reaches all the way out ❤️

When she climbed on it towards the end was so fn good the water just poured out of my eyes. Rock on beautiful lady.

Janis was awesome, and she wasn't a one hit wonder, she worked hard and opened doors for other females to enter ! She is a legend in her own right! One bad ass female singer, Love her❤️

On This Day, October, 4, 1970 Janis Joplin passed away. Rest In Peace Janis.

Ela se foi quando eu era uma criança...Mas assim como uma estrela que se foi seu brilho permanece e nos alcança até os dias de hoje

I am still listening to the soulful blues girl. She relaxes me listening to her.!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

The Queen of music, she was amazing!!!

Those idiots laughed her out of school, her hometown and state. People can be so cruel.Rest easy Janis, those people will never change and they dont matter. We miss you and love you.

She is amazing then and now. Sometimes people are to awesome to get old. She is an angel. I listen to her every day

She sings so good !!!

I'm 74 and thought Janis was the best of her entire era...listening now to Bobby McGee

love Janis "In a world full of Kardashian's be a JANIS!!

Her voice is so unique and beautiful. Raw and gritty wrapped up in sexy overtones. When my sister introduced her to me, I was hooked.

RIP to Janis and the writer of this classic Kris Kristofferson

Janis is and always will be a legend! She was one the most empowering voice of women everywhere, in my book.

When the Lord made Janis, He broke the mold. Never gonna be another one like her. RIP, darlin'.......

Love her music. Janis was and always will be awesome ❤

Love you Janis

Released posthumously by Janis in March of 71. I first heard it on the radio of my 59 TR 3 on the way to work. "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" Lyrics that would live forevermore!

Unless you saw Janis live you can only imagine how great she was rip Janis we still miss you

Beautiful Salinas !!! ❤ my hometown

I remember when Janis Joplin died. I was 10 years old at the time and really did not know who she was. But this song, Me and Bobby McGee was playing all over at the time of her passing and you could see from the atmosphere of the public that a very dark shadow of sadness was placed. Only someone important and loved can do this. I did not understand this at the time, but I understand now.

THE QUEEN OF ROCK ! PEARL !

In my opinion, the most powerful lyric in Rock and Roll. I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one single yesterday....

I love Janis. I'm 64 and I've listened to her since I was a teenager. Lol I got Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose " on my forearm. It reminds me what my freedom actually means to me.

The very first song I ever heard. My doctor, when I was born, played this on repeat. It's not a bad song at all, and I'm glad this got to be my very first. ❤️

LYRICS Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained And rode us all the way into New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues You know feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah, Bobby baby, kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah But feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues That feelin' good was good enough for me, mmm-hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee La-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeah La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da La, la-la-la-da-da- Bobby McGee, oh yeah La-da-da, la-da-da, la, da-da, la, da-da La-da-da, la-da-da, la-di-da Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, lo-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah Well, I wanna call him my lover, call him my man I said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come on Hey now, Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh Hey-hey-hey, Bobby McGee, Lord

Timeless talent. One of a kind voice.

Thanks for the memories Kris

Janis uma Deusa com sua lindas canções

Janas Joplin was a once in a life time talent. To talented for her time and greatly missed by her fans. We love you Janis.

I'm 70 years old black woman. These were the good ole days ❤️

“I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday” - KK What a line. That’s Dylan quality word smithing.

A eterna rainha do Rock and Blues! Ninguém supera a voz de Janis Joplin!

My father used to play Janis on the car 8 track back in the '70s when I was a kid....when mom wasn't around. I still tear up when I hear "Me and Bobby McGee" to this date. Hearing the song causes me to miss him terribly.

Kris wrote a masterpiece, Janis gave it life. Two legends when music was something more than a dollar bill. Pure poetry. "I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one single yesterday"

She still alive with her songs. Sublime rendition.

Grew up on Janus Joplin. I share it with my kids and now my grandkids

She's a fabulous blues singer, love her 💙

Such a classic, this one. Janis recorded this legendary Kris Kristofferson comp only days before her death. She not only sang the song, but she played acoustic guitar on it too.

True, true. Little girl from Texas. Loved the dogs.

The emotion of the music of the past is incredible. Nothing today will ever come close to the heart, soul, passion, and love the "older" artists put into their music. I would take any of the music by the artists before the 80's than any of the "new" crap. I'm 38 and have had the privilege to have been introduced to a wide degree of music from my parents. I will always have an amazing amount of respect for the artists that started my love for music, and my parents for giving me the opportunity to experience true geniuses of vocal and instrumental talent. Love to all. Music brings us together and may we never be divided.

Fifty years later and it still wrenches my soul. Brightest stars burn the quickest.

Baddest bitch in Rock n Roll

Who can write song like this cannot die R.I.P Duck

Comecei a curtir nos anos 83 hoje minha filha com 25 anos curte também o estilo dela

People don't know what music is till they hear Janis!!!

Kris Janis made your song a legend this song will never be forgotten and neither will Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin kicked ass with her music my mom would listen to her now I listen to her now my daughter!

I love this song ❤❤❤

I honestly can't imagine who the 1.5 k people are who gave this a thumbs down. Janis is a classic, and this song is a classic. I have heard it a thousand times and it still makes me cry. Maybe those 1.5 k people never found their Bobby? I Thank God, mine never got away. We just celebrated 40 years of marriage.
