about

Dad (DrMCMBE) heard a theory that this whole song is code, as the "unwelcome" visitor is a poacher, wife of the lady inside, and the police have come to call. She makes the baby cry extra loud and says a specific series of things to let her husband know that he can't come home yet.
Or it's a song about unwanted persistence!
The tune was taught to me by Tim Van Eyken when he was a member of Waterson:Carthy. It's a popular old session tune in England, always fun to get your teeth into.
