The Rogue's March (also Poor Old Soldier, in some contexts Poor Old Tory or The Rogue's Tattoo) is a derisive piece of music, formerly used in the British, American and Canadian military for making an example of delinquent soldiers, typically when drumming them out of the regiment. It was also played during the punishment of sailors. Two different tunes are recorded; the better known has been traced back to a Cavalier taunt song originating in 1642. Unofficial lyrics were composed to fit the tune.

The march was taken up by civilian bands as a kind of rough music to show contempt for unpopular individuals or causes, notably during the American Revolution. It was sometimes played out of context as a prank, or to satirize a powerful person. Historically The Rogue's March is the second piece of identified music known to have been performed in Australia.

The way I've done it is for one fife, one bass drum, and two military field drums.

NOTE: In my universe, the Drumbums would play this piece of music if one of them was to get the boot and sent off in disgrace, and they would also play it if a G-52 were to get excommunicated from the organization, which no one thought would ever happen. But then, Levi the Mountee Lion reverted to his old habits and made the biggest blunder of his whole life, by treating the Canadian Olympic soccer drone scandal on the same level as the Russian and Chinese doping scandals, and therefore declaring that Machias Seal Island should permanently belong to the United States, instead of ceding it for just six years and then continuing the Olympic tradition. As a result, he is horrendously close to being the first one to get the boot, and the world wants to see it happen more than ever. That's the reason the real me did this arrangement of the song, and why I put Levi as the thumbnail. (Mean-spirited? I know; it is. But it is Levi's reality. Soon he will start undergoing a chain reaction of constantly getting a taste of his own medicine.)
