Janis Joplin – Room 411
Room 411
She was a Port Arthur Texas girl
She liked her friends to call her Pearl
But she was hounded out of her hometown
Coz she was diff’rent and she liked those black Blues sounds
Her spirit was light and it was free
Even though they didn’t want her to be
They wished she was repressed and lived a lie
But to be like them, she would rather have died
See Janis going down the tracks
And Janis ain’t ever coming back, no, no
You left your Big Brothers and went alone
And alone you would wander and would roam
Little girl lost so far away from home
Drifting from place to place just like a rolling stone
She was a little girl lost
Living without repentance
A little girl lost
Trying to find acceptance
See Janis going down the tracks
And Janis ain’t ever coming back, no, no, no, no
She looked for love
Wherever she thought it could be found
But in the end
Ev’ryone she’d ever loved let her down
She had a sweet at the Chelsea Hotel
Leo would remember her very well
They’d met in that lift that’d never progressed
But Leo knew what buttons he needed to press
She played Monterey and then Woodstock
Everyone loved her Blues and how she rocked
She sang all through her heartache and her pain’
She said ‘Love is like a ball and chain’
See Janis going down the tracks
And Janis ain’t ever coming back
Ain’t ever coming back
She liked men and also women too
To talk about that in those days was strictly taboo
There was a kinky song about Lola
That got banned by the dumb BBC
Not because it was about ‘Lola’ but because it mentioned coca cola
They called her ‘The wild woman of Blues’
And no one could sing the Blues like you do
Sing me the Blues like you used to
Janis sing me the Blues, sing me the Blues
She was in Hollywood and the night was dark
Returned from the studio to The Landmark
She took a hit that was far too strong
Her time on this earth wasn’t long
Her ashes were scattered over the sea
She is at peace now and is pain free
Janis, Janis going down the tracks
You know that Janis ain’t ever coming back
She was a little girl lost
Living without repentance
A little girl lost
Trying to find acceptance
She looked for love
Wherever she thought it could be found
But in the end
Ev’ryone she’d ever loved let her down
Let her down
