Bessie Lyrics - Jane Siberry

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 air force 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
