In the notes with CD, A toper is a tippler, a guy who is fond of drink, in this case a ballad singer who will sing for drink. He is surprised that the peelers have "stopped toleration", and see being drunk as an offence.In verse 2 "pop" and "shop" are correct verse 3 "And I cared not a damn for those poor bitter peelers" verse 5 "Which caused me to curse John Briggs and his Lodgings" verse 6 "They all take a drop for to banish all care Now I'm circumvatin' round this Irish nation" Ages ago I asked Len Graham could I have this song and he said "No problem, I'm finished with it"
