Always enjoyed the Ewan MacColl song "Champion at Keepin em Rolling", but stumble over some of the lyrics. Can a catter in the UK help me with an English/American translation?

From London to Glascow to the Newcastle KEEL (?) Liverpool, Preston and Bristol SUTTEE (?) The PALLOMS (?) on the road give the thumbsign to me For Champion at Keepin em Rolling.

For the names in caps - have I got them right? and if not a correction would be appreciated. And, oh yes, just what are KEEL, SUTTEE, and PALLOMS?

Thanks MarkS
