"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free". Song: Me and Bobby McGee
To what extent is this true?
I don't think it purports to be a comprehensive definition of the word "freedom"!
What has been the single most poignant or edifying exercise of the aspect of freedom you most cherish so far this year?

according to AZlyrics - the Janis Joplin version:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free
I thought I was the spelling/grammar nazi around here. 😕

I wonder if Suzianne is going to concede that the lyrics in the OP are in fact correct, or is it a case of 'her work is done here'? 😀
She will have joined dozens of inter web sites so she can scrutinise thousands of posts.
Fervently googling desperate to find a tiny error to make herself feel good.
What kind of a life is that ?

But you're right in that the Janis Joplin version is by far the most popular version as well as the most heard.

So do you have a personal copy of his original lyrics?

How do you live with yourself, misrepresenting people like this?
