According to the Danish website DANISH CHILDREN’S SONGS, There is a song (not necessarily to this tune?), Chicken Feet and Carrots, with lyrics translated approximately as
Chicken feet and carrots
and the neck of a swan
He who kisses the girls,
he has a hideous habit!
I was born in England
and you were born in Scania.
If you want to be my little man,
I’ll be your wife!
We’re going to have a little girl,
and she’s going to be called Rikke.
She must have curly hair
and she must sew and knit.
We are having a little boy,
and he will be called Ole.
He must have blue eyes
and he must go to school.
“Apparently, this was originally a Danish tune, which somehow arrived in Wales at some point during the mid 20th century. It was then used as the air to a popular Welsh song. Subsequently, the tune became popular with Welsh dance musicians.”
