The title of the melody probably refers to Charles Moore, 2nd Viscount Drogheda who as involved in the siege of that same town in 1642. He was killed in clashes with Owen Roe O'Neill in 1643. The title may also be a corruption of the Irish word ''draiocht'', meaning magic (see note for "[[Drocketty's March]]").

A "Droghedy's March" from county Wexford is described by Patrick Kennedy in 1812 in his book '''On the Banks of the Boro''':
<blockquote>
''The tune called Droghedy's March was occasionally danced to among the''
''hornpipes, by a performer furnished with a short cudgel in each hand, which''
''he brandished and clashed in harmony with the tune. But we had the good fortune''
''to see it performed in a complete fashion on the borders of the barony of Bargy,''
''in the old manor-house of Coolcul, whose young men, joined by the stout''
''servants and labourers on the farms, were well able, in country parlance, to''
''clear a fair. Amongst these the present chronicler was initiated into the''
''mysteries of mumming, and was taught to bear his part in that relic of the''
''Pyrrhic or Druidic dance, "Droghedy's March."
