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.
