Thank you for adding this, Nigel. An archived version of BBC Cymru has a lesson based on the song, available here. Sadly the recording of the late Meredydd Evans that accompanied it is no longer available, nor can I find it online. I also spotted fragments of this song on a digitised page of Y Darian (Welsh-language newspaper) from 1915 in the children's column. The final verse in the English and Welsh differ quite a bit. The Welsh is rather more down-to-earth. "O Mari, summer's come, Tonight's a fine night, Will you come with me to walk From here to Taff's Well?"
