So who was the, "Rogue" in the, - Rogue, go back ! - part of the song collected by Alfred Williams?

The Carrion Crow and the Tailor

An old carrion crow was sitting on an oak,
Watching a tailor cutting out his cloak.
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."

The carrion crow he began to rave,
And he called the tailor a lousy knave.
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."

Said the tailor, "Go and fetch me my quiver and my bow,
That I might shoot the old carrion crow."
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."

So the tailor fired and missed his mark,
And shot the old sow right through the heart.
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."

Then he said, "Go, fetch me some treacle in a spoon,
For our old sow's in a d---n poor tune."
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."

Now our old sow's dead I don't care a louse,
Fow we shall have black-pudding, chitlings, and souse.
Rogue, go back !
The carrion crow cried "Pork."
