Is Bingo the name of the farmer or the dog in the song?

Now, wait a minute...the song says:

There was a farmer had a dog

And Bingo was his name-o

This does not exactly specify that it's the dog whose name was Bingo. It actually could have been the farmer. Even in the above example of "Little Bingo"

 "The farmer's dog leapt over the stile, / his name was little Bingo"

It's not specific! It seems like it should be the dog...but was the farmer's name Little Bingo? 

We may never know...
