Re: "Stemming gold to make ends meet..."
Lots of possible valid answers. None moreso than another in a general context.
In terms of the song I don't think it fits tho..
"See the drunkard in the tavern stemming gold to make ends meet"
I don't see drunks trimming gold off of coins and melting them down..I figure they were panhandling/begging to be able to afford another drink..much like they do nowadays on the streets of many cities and towns around the world..
