Collected by Donagh MacDonagh in Ireland between 1939 and 1975 [http://members.tripod.com/~songbook1/Rogue.html] (no melody given):
The Rogue
I walked down the road Like a decent girl should. The Rogue he walked down after me, I knew the Rogue he would; For he was a bad Rogue, a bold Rogue, A rogue of high degree, And listen and I'll tell you what The Rogue he said to me.
I went into my house Like a decent girl should, The Rogue followed in after me, I knew the Rogue he would, For he was a bad Rogue, a bold Rogue, A Rogue of high degree, And listen and I'll tell you what The Rogue he said to me.
I climbed up to my room Like a decent girl should, The Rogue he crept up after me, I knew the Rogue he would, For he was a bad Rogue, a bold Rogue, A Rogue of high degree, But divil the word I'll tell you what The Rogue he said to me.
