Lyrics

Ogwen
Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away
I looked in the high meadow for her
I think she's gone
I looked down by the river
and I looked behind the barn

Ogwen
Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away
I saw this girl down by the fence
in the morning mist
telling things to Bessie
it was strange - I wonder if...

Ogwen
Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away
maybe it's a blessing
what with winter coming on
because you see -
the man who owns this farm
was going to sell her to the yards

oh, I hope she really got away
oh Ogwen, we are old
I guess nothing is ever ours
so much that we don't know
Ogwen
Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away
