I just found this forum/website! My Welsh "Grandmother" Annie Owen/s Billing from Old Valley near Holyhead used to sing this song to me and now I want to learn and sing it to my grandchildren. I have a baritone Uke still from college days and have resurrected it. Grandma Billing's father was a William Owen/s and he was a butcher. She came over here to the USA with her husband Fred and son Osborne. They were close friends of my parents (not actual relatives) as my grandmother Helen Jane Roberts was from Caernarfon and the Roberts knew the Owens family in Wales.
I wonder if David Lewis' grandfather who wrote this song is related to the William Owen/s ancestors of Annie? I suppose not...so many Owe/Owens in Wales...!

Please help me find an authentic recording online of the song...and more verses...posts above indicate there are 12...
Thanks!

Welsh Roberts
