Found another verse which fits between the two noted above:

Fe eistedd ar y gangen,
Gan edrych ar ei aden;
Heb un geniog yn ei god,
Yn llywio a bod yn llawen.

He sits on the branch
Looking at his wing;
Not a penny in his purse,
He ??? and makes merry.

The ??? stumps me somewhat; I've asked someone else and she can't work it out either. "Llywio" means 'to steer', 'to pilot'. It can also mean 'tail' so it could be 'bobbing about'. But that's just a guess.

The note that comes with it reads: "An Anglesey farm-servants' song noted by Dr. J. Lloyd Williams from the singing of Mr. W. H. Williams of Llanrwst" so that would probably be in the early 1900s.
