East End boys and West End girls?

Because in London there were two areas: the west and the east. In the west lived the rich people, like bankers, and they had big and elegant houses. And in east lived the people who suffered poverty, where disease, crime and drunkeness were common.

So in the song, eastern boys are poor and western girls are wealthy, “good-family” girls.
