Could it be "ieškok ligi"?
In English it would be something like: "look till/search for till"
"as neturiu mociutes" - "I don't have a mother". "Močiutė", especially in folksongs, is a hypocoristic (diminutive) form of the noun "motina" (mother). In our days, the same noun "močiutė" usually means "grandma".

Comment: "I think that you're right. 'Iaskuok' is prob. dialectal or archaic for 'ieskok', and I see that i and l are freq. confused in the text. Many thanks!"
