@Icarionn Scottish hillbilly here and it's about agricultural workers in the 19th century working for a right sod of a farmer by the name of Mitchell; a place = a job.
The last two lines are, roughly; the contract's over and everyone's ditched Sleepy Town as a bad job; they're going up to Tilford to have a good time and tell what a bad employer Mitchell is, and if they see Mitchell there they intend to take the mick out of him now he's not their boss any more.
It's about unpleasent bosses.

@Icarionn Now the time has finally come that they are free (paid off all their fines?), and they're going down to Tilford to celebrate, and tell the tales of their time at Sleepytoon. He mentions maybe they'll see Mitchell while there. Last two lines- he'll lend Mitchell his hankie to wipe his snotty nose. not real sure on that one. Maybe he's saying he'll show how he's his own man now and Mitchell doesn't even ruffle his feathers? or may be a cultural saying in Scotland like a put down?

@Icarionn The way I understand it, he finds himself homeless. Meets a man named Adam Mitchell- a farmer/landowner at Sleepytoon who promises him he will be treated fairly, not have to work more than 12 hours a day, and he can come and see if it suits him working there. However, at Sleepytoon he and the other workers are treated as indentured servants-have to be in bed by 9, can't leave 'toon or they're fined. But they all break the rules and sneak out to have fun anyway regardless the fines...

That's fun, I was looking for it too, and actually found it on a site, which I don't remember no more. However, after a short while it was no longer available. Thanks God, it's finally on youtube. And thanks to "honeyspur" of course.
