Trefonen /trɪˈvɒnɪn/ is a small village located approximately 3 miles south-west of Oswestry, and 3 miles east of the England-Wales border, in Shropshire, England. The name translates into "village of the ash trees" in English. In 2001, the total population was 1,798, but there has been considerable housing development since that time. The village currently comprises over 700 households, a village hall with playing fields and play area, a parish church, one public house—the Barley Mow, one shop, pre school, and a primary school. At the 2011 Census the population details are listed under Oswestry Rural.
The 8th century earthwork Offa's Dyke ran through the village and it is still visible today, in small sections, running adjacent to Chapel Lane. The Offa's Dyke Path, tracing the route of the structure, also runs directly through the village. Each summer the more contemporary Trefonen Hill Walk is organised by local residents to raise money for charitable causes.
(N. Bottini)
I came along and talked to you
You had little time to choose
A kiss in the rain, in the corner light
It kept on raining all the night
I've been a fool, still I don't know why
It couldn't have been nothing but one more night
You were so fine, girl, when you said goodbye
You sent me away with your sweetest smile
CHORUS:
Drivin' away, out of your town
I've got on my back the light of the sun goin' down
Mile after mile watchin' the counter turnin' 'round
Night has gone, I came home at six
Just one more thing before I could sleep
I took my guitar, and I thought 'bout you
That was all that I could do
