But still you hang around me, come on,
Won't you move over.

But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can.
Please dontcha do it to me babe, no!
Please dontcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer

Or honey let me be.

And whatcha gonna do with your life,

Yeah, you're playing with my heart, dear,
I believe you're toying with my affections, honey.
I can't take it no more baby,
And furthermore, I don't intend to.
I'm just tired of hanging from the end of a string, honey,
You expect me to fight like a goddamned mule.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, honey...

3. A WOMEN LEFT LONELY



A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,

She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.

A simple conversation with a new man now and again

Makes a touchy situation when a good things comin' to an end

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!



4. HALF MOON



Half moon, night time sky,
Seven stars, Heaven's eyes.
Seven songs on seven seas
Just to bring all your sweet love home to me.

Hey, fill me like the mountains, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Fill me like the sea, Lord,
Not coming past, still at last
Your love brings life to me,
Your love brings life to me,
Hey!

Rings of cloud, arms aflame,
Sunrise up to call your name,
Sunrise up and it burn the ground
Just to shine above the first true love I found.

Hey! Fill me like the mountains, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Fill me like the sea, Lord,
Not coming past, still at last
Your love brings life to me,
Your love brings life to me,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!

Half moon, night time sky,
Seven stars, Heaven's eyes,
Seven songs on seven seas
Just to bring all your sweet love home to me.

Not coming past, still at last

All right. We'll sue you! Oh, it's Sunday, right ? It's Monday now, right ? No ? Well, well, keep on rockin'. It's five minutes past Sunday ? Hey, you're still here, man ?

It's Monday, it's legal, right. This is a very strange place you have. And if you ever need a drink that should be on Sunday, man, that's the worst, ha ha! The worst day in the week and they close the bars ? I can't understand it!


5. BURIED ALIVE IN THE BLUES
(Instrumental)


6. MY BABY



And when I work hard all day long
I tell you what, it don't bother me nohow,
'Cause how could anything ever go wrong
When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
When I got my baby, oh Lord!
And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no no no no.

All I've ever got to do is call my daddy's name
Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
Yes I got my baby, good good God,
Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do.
Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep,
And I know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah,
'Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah.

And when I wanna call the names
Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear,
Love, don't you know how long I looked for you
Daddy, daddy, daddy.
Love, don't you know how hard I tried,
But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
Now I got my baby, yeah.



7. ME AND BOBBY MC GEE


Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
And I was feelin' near's faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
And rode us all the way in to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon outta my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues- yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
And we sang every song that driver knew

CHORUS:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose
Nothing- well no nothing honey if ain't free- yeah
And feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
LA LA LA's

From the Kentucky cole mines
To the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything we done
Yeah Bobbby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
He's a lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
Well I trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

CHORUS:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing- well that's all that Bobby left me- yeah
Well feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
LA LA LA's
& Naw Naw Naw's

Hey Hey Hey Bobby McGee Yeah!



8. MERCEDES BENZ



Oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends.
So oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Oh lord won't you buy me a color TV.
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me.

Trust in me, baby, give me time, gimme time, um gimme time.

Sweeter the wine, sweeter the wine."

Make anybody want to sacrifice.
