Bye Bye Baby
​

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I gotta be seeing you around
When I change my living standard and I move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.

So long, my honey, so long.
Too bad you had to drift away
'Cause I could use some company
Right here on this road, on this road I'm on today.

I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, I ain't got time to wait on you or to fetch your super ball,
I got lots of things I've got to do.

I know that you got things to do and places to be.
I guess I'll have to find the thing you placed on me.
I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree,
Still I guess you know honey I've gotta go.

Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I guess you know you're on your own,
It seems you just got lost somewhere out in the world
And you left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
You left me here to face it all alone,
Bye, bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye

leaving on a jetplane

leaving on a jetplane
​

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn'
the taxi 's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane,
don't know when I'll be back again,
oh babe I hate to go
I hate to go...
There 're so many times I've let you down
so many times I've played around
but now you know that they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your weddingring
chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me goI'm leaving on a jetplane
don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I hate to go...
Now the time has come to leave you
one more time, let me kiss you
close your eyes and I'll be on my wayDream about the days to come
when I won't have to leave alone,
about the times when I don't have to say...
chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane,
don't know when I'll be back again,
oh babe I hate to go

Me and my Bobby mcGee

Me and my Bobby mcGee
​

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
He rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free
Yeah, feelin' good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

From the Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything that we done
Hey, 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
Well, I'd trade all o' my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', an' that's all that Bobby left me, la da
Oh, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me, oo oo
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

La da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da Bobby Mcgee, yeah
La da da da da da da
La da da da da
La da da da da da da Bobby Mcgee, yeah

La da La la da da la da da la da da
La da da da da da da da da
Hey now, Bobby, now, now Bobby Mcgee, yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Hey now Bobby now now Bobby Mcgee, yeah

Lord, I called him my lover
I called him my man
I said I called him my lover did the best I can, c'mon
Hey now Bobby now,
hey now Bobby Mcgee, yeah

wooooooo

Hey, hey, hey Bobby Mcgee, yeah

One Night Stand

One Night Stand
​

When I'm on the road,
Playin' in a town without a name,
And I'm feelin' alone,
And everybody looks the same.
Well, you catch my eye,
And you come-on strong,
And try to make your play.
Just because we loved tonight,
Please don't think,
It's gonna stay that way.

Don't you know that your nothin' more,
Than a one night stand.
Tomorrow I'll be on my way,
Baby, catch me if you can.
Honey, take me by the hand,
And play that game again.

Everywhere I go,
The people try to get next to me.
That's all right,
But, tomorrow I got to be free.
We got a good thing, baby,
And it's all up to us tonight,
Don't you go and spoil it dear,
By trying to get yourself all uptight.


Don't you know that your nothing more,
Than a one night stand.
Tomorrow I'll be on my way,
Honey, catch me if you can.
Take me by the hand,
And play that game again.

The Rose

The Rose
​

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves you're soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed


It's the heart, afraid of braking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the change
It's the one, who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learnes to live

When the night, has been to lonely
And the road, has been to long
And you think that love is only
for the lucky, and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed, that with the suns love
in the spring becomes the rose

A woman left lonely

A woman left lonely

A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,
She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.
And when she gets lonely, she's thinking 'bout her man,
She knows he's taking her for granted, yeah yeah,
Honey, she doesn't understand, no no no no!
Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.
A woman left lonely, she's the victim of her man, yes she is.
When he can't keep up his own way, good Lord,
She's got to do the best that she can, yeah!
A woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl,
Lord, Lord, Lord!​
