Janis Joplin
(Pour ma fille et ses copines)
Summertime
Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord so high.
Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's a-looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.
But until that morning,
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,
No, no, no no, no no, no...
Don't you cry — cry.
(Live Gröna Lund 1969)
Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain live at Monterey '67
Sittin’ down by my window,
Honey, lookin’ out at the rain.
Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin’ down by my window,
Baby, lookin’ out at the rain.
Somethin’ came along, grabbed a hold of me, honey,
And it felt just like a ball and chain.
Honey, that’s exactly what it felt like,
Honey, just dragging me down.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,
Why does every single little tiny
thing I hold on to go wrong ?
Yeah it goes wrong, yeah.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,
Does every thing, every thing.
Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,
I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,
Yeah! Alright! Hey!
Love’s got a hold on me, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
Now, love’s just draggin’ me down, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
I hope there’s someone out there who could tell me
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me,
tell me, tell me why, yeah.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,
When I need to know why, c’mon tell me why, hey hey hey,

Here you’ve gone today,
I wanted to love you and hold you
Till the day I die.
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!
And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
It ain’t fair, daddy it ain’t fair what you do,
I see what you’re doin’ to me and
you know it ain’t fair.
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
It ain’t fair, now, now, now, what you do
I said hon’ it ain’t fair what, hon’
it ain’t fair what you do.
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
Was to love you
Honey you can still hear me rock and roll the best,
Only it ain’t roll, no, no, no, no, no.
Sittin’ down by my window,
Lookin’ out at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin’ down by my window,
Lookin’ out at the rain, see the rain.
Somethin’ came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt like a ball and chain.
Oh this can’t be in vain
And I’m gonna tell you one more time, yeah, yeah!
And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby
This can’t be, no this can’t be in vain,
And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa,
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me
Hon’, tell me why love is like
Just like a ball
Just like a ball
Baaaaaaalllll
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,
daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
And a chain.
Yeah.

Me & Bobby McGee Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
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, Bobby McGee, la.
La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.
Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
C'mon, hey now Bobby yeah, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
Yeah! Whew!
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.
Moi Et Bobby McGee
Complêtement fauchés à Baton Rouge, attendant un train
Me sentant presque aussi fanée que mes jeans
Bobby arrêta un camion juste avant la pluie
Il nous embarqua pour tout le chemin jusqu'à New Orleans
Je sortis mon harmonica de mon sale bandana rouge
Je jouais doucement pendant que Bobby chantait le blues
Les essuie-glaces battant la mesure
Je tenais la main de Bobby dans la mienne
Nous avons chanté toutes les chansons que le chauffeur connaissait
Dire qu'on est libres n'est qu'une autre façon de dire qu'il ne nous reste plus rien à perdre
Rien n'a de valeur chéri si ce n'est pas gratuit, alors alors
Et se sentir bien était facile, mon Dieu, quand il chantait le blues
Me sentir bien me suffisait
Suffisait à moi et à Bobby McGee
Des mines de charbon du Kentucky jusqu'au soleil de Californie
Bobby a partagé les secrets de mon âme
A travers toutes sortes de conditions atmosphériques, à travers tout ce que nous avons fait
Bobby chéri m'a protégée du froid
Un jour en remontant près de Salinas, mon dieu, je l'ai laissé s'éclipser
Il était à la recherche de ce foyer et je lui souhaite de le trouver
Mais j'échangerais tous mes lendemains contre un seul hier
Pour serrer le corps de Bobby contre le mien
Dire qu'on est libres n'est qu'une autre façon de dire qu'il ne nous reste plus rien à perdre
Rien, c'est tout ce que Bobby m'a laissé, ouais
Mais se sentir bien était facile, Seigneur, quand il chantait le blues
Me sentir bien me suffisait, hmm hmm
Suffisait à moi et à Bobby McGee
La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da
La-da-da da-la-da la-da, Bobby McGee, ouais
La-da-la-da-la-da La-da-la-da-da
La-da-la-da-la-la, Bobby McGee, ouais
La-da-da La-da-da La da-da La da-da
La-da-da La da-da La da-da
Hey, mon Bobby, Oh Dieu, mon Bobby McGee, ouais
Lo-da-lo da-la-lo-da-la
Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la
Hey, mon Bobby, Oh Dieu, mon Bobby McGee, ouais
Oh Dieu, je l'appelle mon amant, je l'appelle mon homme
J'ai dit que je l'appelais mon amant, j'ai fait de mon mieux, allez viens
Hey maintenant Bobby maintenant, hey maintenant Bobby McGee, ouais
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Oh mon Dieu !
