about

CAINC Y CATHREIWR - I've heard this song sang by lots of people. It used to be sung by the ploughman to the ox.
I fitted the first verse lyrics top of my own tune PLOUGHMAN'S HORNPIPE.
JOHN THOMAS' HORNPIPE. & BOB AND JOHN- these melodies I learnt from & after the playing of Ceri Rhys Matthews.

lyrics

CAINC Y CATHREIWR ( also called CAINC YR ARADWR)

Ho da machgen i
Ho dere, dere, ho dere dere,
Ho hai ho!

Fe gwn yr haul er machlud heno.
Fe gwn y lloer yn ddisglair eto.
Cwyd blodau haf o'r ddaear dirion
Ond byth! O byth ni chwn fy nghalon
