Yes michaelr you have the more correct spelling.This is a song about Travellers. In Ballinasloe Co. Galway every year there is a horsefair and people (mainly travellers) go there to buy and sell horses. "Two piebald ponies in my pocket" refers to the fact that has sold two ponies and has the proceed from the sale in his pocket. Rolling 'round and 'round the fair is his way of saying that he has been drinking. Well that's my interpretation.
