Kris's original lyrics are more like the ones UB Ed posted above than they way Janis sang it (the ones Fiver posted). The original line did not have anyone holding hands and playing the "harpoon" at the same time. Also, the line " Nothing left is what she left for me," (or "Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me") was Janis's variation. Kris K.'s line was "Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.!"
