Jane Siberry Bessie Lyrics

Bessie Lyrics

I`m going to take a rope 
and put it over her shoulders 
and head for the river 
and practice on boulders 
and when she`s real good 
I`m going to build a big ramp 
and me and that bovine 
gonna vacate this camp  
 
fly now 
across the hills 
everyone`s watching 
gonna give them a thrill  
 
so pound up that ramp 
your hooves sound like thunder 
I`m Zeus - you`re Pegasus 
we`re a six-legged wonder 
it`s our key to success 
we`ll be famous world over 
I`ll make lots of money 
and you`ll have sweet clover  
 
fly now 
across the sky 
fetlocks a-flappin` 
it`s just you and I  
 
and I won`t tell the airforce about my schemes 
I know they`d abuse you for their flying machines 
and the farmers will curse me 
when their cows take off from the fields 
no meat for their markets 
no milk for their meals  
 
fly now 
across the hills 
everyone`s watching 
gonna give them a thrill  
 
so don`t let me down 
oh, bovine be risen 
come on, sweet Bessie 
be just like my vision 
don`t back away Bessie 
if you pull I`ll push 
and we`ll weave a nice sine wave 
up over the bush  
 
fly now 
across the hills 
fetlocks a-flappin` 
the earth`s standing still 
fly now 
up in the sky 
Bessie sweet Bessie 
it`s just you and I
