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   She was telling things to Bessie   It looked strange--I wonder if...       Ogwen--Bessie's gone   Bessie's gone away       Well, maybe it's a blessing   What with winter coming on   Because the man who owns this farm   Was going to sell her to the yards       Oh, I hope she really got away   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
