New Years day song

Hi in last months meeting of The Morriston Historical Society, I was asked if I knew the origin of a song that used to be sung by youngsters around the Morriston area on New Years Morning. The words were something like this :-
A Happy New Years morning
The cocks are all a'crowing
And we are all a fighting/rhyming
Rise up, Rise up,
Look at the stars and moon

Does anybody out there Know if this was peculiar to Morriston or did it have a wider currency?
Does any-one remember singing it? If you have any recollections I could pass them on top the next society meeting. It's our 1st AGM on Tues 27th Feb at 7.30 in the Red Lion -- all welcome
