Below are the lyrics to the US Army Anthem titled The Caissons Go Rolling Along:US Army Anthem (The Caissons Go Rolling Along)
Words and Music by Major Edmund L. Gruber - 1907
Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along. In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along. Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along. Was it high, was it low,
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right,
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along. Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
