[Chorus]
Ogwen—Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Ogwen—Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away

[Verse 2]
I saw this girl down by the fence
In the morning mist
She was telling things to Bessie
No, it looked strange—I wonder if...

[Chorus]
Ogwen (Ogwen)—Bessie's gone (Bessie's gone)
Bessie's gone away

[Verse 3]
Well, maybe it's a blessing
What with winter coming on
'Cause you see the man who owns this farm
Was going to sell her to the yards (Why?)
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Ogwen—Bessie's gone
Bessie's gone away

[Outro]
Ah, c'mon Ogwen, I thought you were listening to me. I told you Bessie's been gone for a day. I don't know where she is and... Bessie's gone away.
