From 7 years ago: Mrrzy, Brand's 1960 book prints the line as "To sing praises of sweet little Jane," thus solving the problem of pronunciation.

My problem is how he pronounces it on the record, which I still hear as shelly coch coyne. I believe whoever said it is Welsh for Sweet little Jane. But Brand does not sing Sweet little Jane...
