This morning looking through old song words I came across a word that has puzzled me for years. In the song "Best O' Bunch" as performed way back by the Oldham Tinkers the songs starts

This world's just like a rantipool
it's nowt but up's and down's
I've found it mostly down mesen
I'm used to fortunes frowns
our folk were all tarred with same brush
they were either bad or wicked
I was t'only one as were any good
folk reckoned as they bickered ......... Ooooooooooo

What on Earth is a rantipool or have I misheard something
