Stories and songs from the pen of Stephen Baum, alias Bumba.
Me and Bobby McGee
This is a Bumbastories Singalong!
The mighty Kris Kristofferson wrote this gem back in 1967. Janis Joplin, of course, did a great cover on it. Maybank and Bumba gave it a go last night. It’s a great song to sing and play, so please join in.

Busted flat in Baton Rouge/Waiting fopr a train/Feeling nearly faded as my jeans/Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained/ and we rode it all the way to New Orleans/ I pulled my harp out of my dirty red bandana/I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues/ With the windshield wipers slappin time/ holding Bobby’s hand in mine/ we finally sung up every song that driver knew.
Freedom’s just another word for nothin left to lose…….
I like it too. I’m not very adept at all the wordpress settings. I’m still going to try to make my Library more visible. The way you present your portfolio is a good one. I think I’ll go visit now……
Love it!!!
Yes, itβs a great country song.
one of my favorite sing along songs…………… β€ Thanks for giving me the chance. And, I do like the green………very sharp………..
Thank you, Bobbie. I’m glad you liked it.
Is it easy being green? It’s cheery. And also wish I knew the words well enough to sing along.
