How the clue works
The definition is Devious worker — a cowboy being slang for a dodgy tradesman. Bully gives you COW (as in to cow someone), then lout is YOB, which gets reversed — that's the "getting a rise" bit, pointing to an upward reversal in a down clue — to give BOY, and COW plus BOY gets you there.
