I asked my love
to take a walk To take a walk just a little walk Dawn beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio I held knife againist his breast As into my arms he pressed He cried My love don't you murder me I'm not prepared for eternity And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio I wandered home tween twelve and one I cried My god what have I done I've killed the only woman I love He would not take me for his bride And only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms entwine Down beside where the water flow Down by the bank of the Ohio Down by the bank of the Ohio |

Butterflied in Maton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded at Marquee's Bobby found the diesel down, just before it rained Took us all the way to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With that windshield wiper slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands We finally sang up every song that driver knew Chorus: 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 Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me, through everything I've done And every night he kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' left is all he left for me Ah, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee I let him slip away, lookin' for that home I hope he'll find Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee...

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox With the best of country music, old and new You can hear your five selections for a quarter And somebody else's songs when yours are through I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter And my friends around to help me ease the pain 'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song And here I am just missing you again Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again If I had a dime for every time I held you Though you're far away, you've been so close to me I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville Maybe even in the state of Tennessee But I guess I'd better get myself together 'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind Just a note that said "I'm sorry" by your picture And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again |

If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you The words will never show The you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You'll come and pour yourself on me If a girl could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away |

There'll be no strings to bind your hands Not if my love can find your heart And there's no need to take a stand For it was I who chose to start I see no need to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me Maybe the sun's light will be dim It won't matter anyhow If morning's echo says we've sinned Well, it was what I wanted now And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me I won't beg you to stay with me Through the tears of the day Of the years, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby |

Night is draggin' her feet I wait alone in the heat I know, know that you'll have your way Till you have to go home No's a word I can't say Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you no And it gets me nowhere to make you go Will a little more love make you start depending Will a little more love bring a happy ending Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right? Where, where did my innocence go? How, how was a young girl to know? I'm trapped, trapped in the spell of your eyes In the warmth of your arms In the web of your lies But it gets me nowhere to tell you no And it gets me nowhere to make you go Will a little more love make you start depending Will a little more love bring a happy ending Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right? |

You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me, set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew, were all the years I had with you Chorus: I would give anything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home I would give anything I own, just to have you back again You taught me how to laugh, what it solved, what it solved You never said too much, but still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know, the part of me that can't let go (chorus) Is there someone you know, you're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day, someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say (chorus) Just to touch you once again |
