Notes: (copied and pasted from http://www.amaranthpublishing.com/rogues.html )
".....a well known tune used by the American army during the Revolution. The tune was known as "The Rogue's March" and was played when military and/or civil rogues, criminals, offenders and various undesirable characters were drummed from camps and cantonments. Sometimes the rogue(s) would be marched about with a halter around their necks, and usually with the final disgrace of a farewell ritual kick in the butt from the youngest drummer".
