(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield whipers 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' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
Searching for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word...
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...

Loretta Lynn, all'anagrafe Loretta Webb (1932-2022), è stata una delle più influenti cantautrici country statunitensi di tutti i tempi. Nata in Kentucky, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, scrivendo canzoni che riflettevano le esperienze della vita quotidiana nelle zone rurali del Sud. Lynn ha raggiunto il successo nazionale con brani come "Coal Miner's Daughter" e "The Pill", diventando un'icona per le donne country e una voce potente per i diritti delle lavoratrici. La sua musica, spesso autobiografica e diretta, ha affrontato temi come la povertà, l'amore, la famiglia e la lotta per l'emancipazione femminile. Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui tre Grammy Awards, ed è stata inserita nella Country Music Hall of Fame nel 1988. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1970) e "Fist City" (1968). Oltre alla sua carriera musicale, Lynn ha anche recitato in film e ha scritto un libro autobiografico di grande successo.
