Me & Bobby McGee Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Durango 

Cover art for Me & Bobby McGee lyrics by Grateful Dead

I heard that both Booby Weir and Janice Joplin learned the song at the same time on their train ride across Canada.

Janice Joplin owns this song. But the Dead put out the second best version. And I am certain they thought of her every time they played it.

Especially when they changed the lyrics to say:

Freedoms just another word For nothing left to DO

For Christ's sake his name is not Booby. It is BOBBY.

As much as I love Janis, I love Bobby waaayyyy more. ;-)
