Farewell Song
Janis Joplin

Oh, the last time that I saw you

You know you didn't say a word.

And I knew, honey as I looked into your eyes

That my feelings, lord, they'd never been heard.

Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,

Did you hear me? I said love.

Yeah, because it's got to be such a long, long, long way

From denyin', from denyin'.


And I say you 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.

I wanted to try and build a life with you,

I guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.

Let me hold you just once

Honey I'll 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, have some pressures

There can never, never, never be any secret,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.


You gonna have to pay your dues

And sometimes, honey, sometimes you're bound to lose.

Yeah, but that's the way

You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love people, yeah.


Oh god, I wish I could explain it myself,

'cause I know that it's my fault, dear.

It's so easy to hurt you, darling,

It's so hard, I guess it's hard not to do.

And I know you showed me a new life

And you'll always, yeah you'll always be my friend.

Baby I don't think that I can keep from cryin'

And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, babe,

Yes I have now.


Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What would I do without you child?

I'm afraid I can't say

But I hope honey that when you remember,

Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day

Now, now, now, now, good-bye,

And I'll see you sometime

And don't be worried, everything's just fine

Baby I don't think

That I can keep from dyin'

And I've been dyin'.


I said now every day I got a little bit, babe,

I said now every day I lose me someone in my heart

I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby

I said I've been lonely, lonely, I've been searchin' for you,

And I got to find, honey have to find my baby

I gotta find, I gotta want it, gotta need it,

'cause hear me baby, baby, talk about my baby

Hear me baby, baby, whoa yeah, my baby,

Hear me baby, baby, talk about my baby

Won't you help me now,

Won't you help me now,

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Whoa yeah, I gotta

I gotta leave you, baby, I can't help myself

I gotta leave you, baby, I got to, you know

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Whoa yeah, I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta


Whoaa... Lord, lord lord lord!!

Whoaa... Lord, lord lord lord!!


Thank you.


Five very very nice people, one great big talent, big brother & the holding company.

Thank you very much. Sorry for the delay and we want to thank you very much, I think you're a whole lot of people, as compared to like people in new york who wouldn't remain as patient, or as ki

You have, so thank you very much. Time to make things happen.

You know I got me some new tune, man. It's really boss. Yeah, it's a, oh, wait a minute, it's a record by emma franklin, it's a tune called piece of my heart. Groovy! Did you see tha
