The Fiddler's Companion entry for Rogue's March goes into a lot of detail about how this was used as the "drumming out" march since at least the mid-Eighteenth Century. No mention of any "Pogue's March" even as a variant. The name is of Scottish/Ulster origin and is uncommon in England - my phone book covering part of a major English city lists only two, and as they live in the same locality they're very possibly related.

Besides, why shouldn't a tune about rogues be chipper and charming?
