I think the lodger is probably Tom, to rhyme with 'from' and I think the lodger paid a deposit. 'Hopped it' is a common term for scarpered or ran away.

We had a lodger and his name was Tom.
Used to wonder where the dickens he came from.
One day he walked into the kitchen unawares,
Paid a bob deposit on the room upstairs.
When I got home from work the other night,
My wife and him had hopped it.
