( recording of april 4 1970, san fransisco )

(Spoken:Let's go, let's go let's go let's go
Peter you start it
Richard, you start it
Somebody start it)

I just had to get out on the Texas plane, Lord, well it was
bringing me down
Yeah, I had to get out of Texas, baby, Lord, it was bringing me
down
I been all around the world, but Port Arthur is the worst place
that I've ever found

I guess they couldn't understand it there, honey, they'd laugh
me off the street!
Lord, I guess they couldn't understand me, baby, honey, they'd
laugh, I said they'd laugh me right off the street, yeah
I said I want to keep on moving, baby, be the last person I ever
wanna meet

Yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard when you're all alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard, Lord, when
you're all alone
I might die real old lady, but I'd never call Texas my home, no,
no, no, oh!

You say you come from Texas, baby, she says she left Texas with
just her name
(Spoken: That's what she told me)
Yes she's from Texas I tell you, she says she left Texas with
just her name
Yes, well I swear when that girl came to the big city, Lord, she
learned a brand new game
Well, yeah!

Honey, I hear you talkin' about sorrow, baby but you don't know
my pain, that's right!
Mercy! Mercy!
I hear you talking about my sorrow, you don't know my pain
You know there's an inside kind of sorrow, Lord, the women are
always singin' the blues
All right, all right mother fucker, you sing!

You know I, I dealt the Ace to the Queen, you know I played
scrabble with L.B.J.
Yes, I dealt an Ace to the Queen, didn't I'll tell ya I's
playin' scrabble with L.B.J.
Well, I don't care what the name of the game is, baby, I tell
you I always seem to get my way

I used to be a doggone fool, fall for a woman's story every time
But no more, I swear
Well, I used to be a, be a doggone fool, fall for that old
woman's story every time
Yes I, I'm a big boy now, yeah, they gotta come up with some
kind of heavy line
Well, well, yeah!

Sounds like I found the man, who could take care of my time
It ain't me babe, it ain't me babe!
It appears to me that I found a man, that could take care of my
time
Well, I got my own trouble, I got my own car, I got my own
little lady, I got my hotel
Oh what are you talking about!
Don't try to take it!
Somebody talks as fine as he does, oughta be able to take care

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

Woman, woman, it just makes me mad
Ahh, ahh! Woman, yeah
Woman, yeah
Woman, yeah
Woman, yeah
Woman, yeah, yeah, it just makes me mad
Oh man, shit, man...
Yes, she played me for the fool I tell ya
Yes and I've got to love every man she's ever had, yeah

If I found a man who could put me down the way you do
I mean so handy-like, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I found a man, whoa, who could put me down the way you do
I mean so easy like it was second nature, y'know what I mean,
man?
Ah maybe that man could help me, at least, honey I thought I
would give you a chance
I said I, what I said I could try after the, after the show
tonight maybe uh ...

I'm just a working man, you know
Ha ha ha ha, you don't work too hard, baby!
You know I ain't no Hollywood star
I'm not Joe Namath, you know, I read about that in the papers
today
You know I'm just a working man, you don't work too hard, baby!
I never ran in a football game 200 yards
Ha ha ha ha ha, that's the kinda man I like, that's the kinda
man I like
But you know I can take care of those country girls
Well I can mess around in that farmyard
Lord, Lord, whoaah!

Ha ha ha! ha. Whew! Whew! Wow! That's getting a little too
close, too heavy here
That's Nick Gravenites, that was a tune called Ego Rock. No! ...

All right, rock, rock & roll song

5.Farewell song

Whoa, the last time that I saw ya
Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word.
And I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard.
Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,
Did you hear me, I said love,
Because it's got to be such a long, long, way
From denyin', from denyin'.
And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more.
And I believed in you all the time,
Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong.
Won't you try and build a life with you,
Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all
along.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more
Babe, I ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'
And I been cryin' and I got tears in my eyes.
Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so
precious
They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose.
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply.
Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself,
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too.
It's so easy to hurt you, darling,
It's so hard, it's hard not to do.
And I know that you showed me a new life
And you'll always, you'll always be my friend.
Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from tryin'
And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby,
Yes, I have now.
Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What would I do without you, child ?
I'm afraid that I can't say.
But I hope, honey, that when you will remember
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day.
Now, now, now, now, good-bye,
I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine.
Babe, I don't think
That I can keep from dyin'
And I've been dyin'.
I say now every day I die a little bit, babe
I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart
I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby
I said now I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him
'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby
'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, yeah, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta
Help me now now now now
Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Baby, it won't be too long,
If I just could hang on,
Yeah, until my, till my misery
Will all be gone.
Whoa, I said my rooms, you know,
They're so empty, empty, empty, empty, empty.
Filled up with sadness, sometimes, yeah.
My rooms are so empty, empty, empty, empty.
Child, filled up with sadness, honey, sometimes, sometimes.
Oh well it just, it just moves in,
Like the fog rolls in.
And I find I, well I can't see you, baby,

Don't you know I've tried.
Cried, cried, cried, cried, cried.

Much more that it seems it should be.
So, baby, now, now,
Baby, now, now,
Baby, tell me why,
Does it have to be
Oh, so wrong for me ?
I never thought I could ever want anybody,
No, no, no, never did, I never did.
Why am I feelin' so strange ???
Whoaaaaa, I never, never, never needed nobody, no, no,
But maybe you could help me ?Why am I feelin' so strange ?
Yeah, an' I've got me a great,

7.Crazy once you know how

Oh well it's much too early, not right now,
How can I love you when I, I don't know how,
I don't know how, I don't know how ?
How can I trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? It's hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.
It's hard to understand what's really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.
Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ah.
You say you need me, baby, as you breathe the words,
That's time for you to leave, Oh no!
Time to leave, time to leave.
Oh please, don't push me, baby, I might learn how to play your
game,
Now it's your turn,
It's your turn, it's your turn.
I'd love to love you now till I'll be sure
That this time your love won't hurt me more,
Hurt me more, hurt me more, oh, come on!
I think I'll go now, yeah you're always gonna break me my heart,
And I see I gotta go now, honey I just wanna say
Oh you're breaking my heart right now baby,
Oh you're breaking my heart now now now,
Now I don't wanna hurt you, no no no no,
And I don't wanna hold you, yeah!

So when you love me all night long
I need a twenty-four hour man,
Honey, where are you ?
But doesn't really matter when I need you so
It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no.
It doesn't really matter, babe I got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love,
I just love to love you, ah ooh!


8.Flower in the sun

Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.
And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.
Once in a green time a flower

The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?

Baby, don't you hear me cry ?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don't you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa.


9.One night stand

When I'm on the road playin' in a town without a name,
And I'm feelin' low an' everybody looks the same.
Well, you catch my eye, and then you come on strong an' try to
make your play.
Just because we loved tonight, please don't you think it's gonna

21.St. james infirmary

I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and this motley
crowd was there

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were
bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the words he said:

I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, and fine,
and fair
Go ahead!

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me

Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but my baby's never
comin' back

Well, now you've heard my story, well, have another round of
booze
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, I've got the St. James
infirmary blues!

( from the soundtrack of the motion picture 'Janis' )

Lord, I ain't got no reason for livin', you give me no cause to
die
Lord, I ain't got no reasons for stay here, give me no cause to
try
I got these blues, I gotta find me that middle road

Well, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got no reasons to go on, give me no cause to stay
here
I got these blues, I gotta finally know why

Well, I ain't got no reason for walkin', I guess I'm gonna fall
or standstill
Lord, I ain't got no reason for walkin', guess I'm gonna fall or
standstill
Lord I ain't got no reason for goin', give me no cause to stay
here
I got these blues, Lord I gotta finally know why


23.Nobody knows you when you're down and out

( from the soundtrack of the motion picture 'Janis' )

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money,
no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place
to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my
long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be
my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

But i always sound like this, man, i hear myself on tape i

Take 5.

God! shall i start that way ? ready ?

Over to you baby.

Busted flat in baton rouge, waiting for a train
And i's feelin' nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way in to new orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
An' i's playin' soft while bobby sang the blues, yeah.
Windshield wipers slapping time, i was holding bobby's hand in
mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free.
Yeah, an' feeling good was easy, lord, bobby sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me, hmm mm,
Good enough for me and my bobby mcgee.

From the kentucky coal mines to the california sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
Said bobby baby, he kept me from the cold.

One day up near salinas, lord, i let him slip away,
But he was lookin' for that home and i hope he finds it.
But i'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that bobby left me, yeah.
Feelin' good was easy, lord, bobby he sang the blues,
I said feeling good was good enough for me, hmm mm,
It's good enough for me and my bobby mcgee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la bobby mcgee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la, bobby mcgee.

La la la, la la la la la la,
La la la, la la la la la la,
Na na na na na na na na, bobby mcgee, yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na,
Hey now bobby lord, bobby mcgee, yeah.

Hell, i'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said i'm calling my lover, i do the best i can,
I said now c'mon,bobby now, come on bobby mcgee, yeah.
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy lord
Hey, hey, hey, bobby mcgee, yeah!

That's when somebody else has to take over.


35.Mr. Natural

I wake up in the morning
And i look out at the sun
Then i think i'll get up, go out a while
And i get out on the run.
Then i say, 'my boy, you got to slow down
And have yourself some fun.'
So i lay around and i smoke a while
And i never get nothing done.

I don't care, my needs are few,
What in the world am i gonna do
With a million dollars from i don't know who
When in the world, will i get through
With living in such great expectations
With loving, some call it infatuation.

I go outside and i walk a while
Singing in the street.
I blow a kiss, i give a smile
To every one i meet.

If i dance a step or two.

Is an easy thing to do.

spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low,
didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual,
and this motley crowd was there

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy,
and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story,
these were the words he said:

I went down to the St. James infirmary,
I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table,
so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me

Yes, sixteen coal black horses,
to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard,
but my baby's never comin' back

I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always

From denying, from denying

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more

They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply
Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too
It's so easy to hurt you, darling
It's so hard, it's hard not to do

But I hope, honey, that when you will remember

Now, now, now, now, good-bye I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine
Babe, I don't think that I can keep from dying

( From the Soundtrack of the Motion Picture 'Janis' )

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire,
spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low,
didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual,
and this motley crowd was there

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy,
and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story,
these were the words he said:

I went down to the St. James infirmary,
I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table,
so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me

Yes, sixteen coal black horses,
to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard,
but my baby's never comin' back

Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday

I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always

23.Farewell Song

Whoa, the last time that I saw
Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word
And I knew, darling as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard

Well, I'm talking to you about love
Did you hear me, I said love
Because it's got to be such a long, long, way
From denying, from denying

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more
And I believed in you all the time
Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong
Won't you try and build a life with you
Guess I should've known it
I guess I should've known it all along

Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more
Babe, I ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from crying
And I been crying and I got tears in my eyes
Yeah, but don't you know
When you love somebody that's so precious
They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply
Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too
It's so easy to hurt you, darling
It's so hard, it's hard not to do

And I know that you showed me a new life
And you'll always, you'll always be my friend
Yeah, but I don't think, honey
That I can keep from trying
And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby
Yes, I have now

Well, tell me... what would I do without you, child ?
I'm afraid that I can't say
But I hope, honey, that when you will remember
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day
Now, now, now, now, good-bye I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine
Babe, I don't think that I can keep from dying
And I've been dying
I say now every day I die a little bit, babe
I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart
I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby
I said now I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him
'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby
'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
