The Caisson Song
Over hill, over dale, we have hit the dusty trail,
and our caissons go rolling along.
In and out hear them shout "Counter march! And right a-bout,"
and the cais-sons go rolling along.
Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" in the field artillery.
Shout out your numbers loud and strong (one two!)
For where e'er we go, you will always know that the
caissons go rolling along.
that the caissons go rolling along.
In the storm, in the night, action left or action right,
see the caissons go rolling along.
Limber front, limber rear, prepare to mount your canoneer,
and the caissons go rolling along.
Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" in the field artillery.
Shout out your numbers loud and strong (one two!)
For where e'er we go, you will always know that the
caissons go rolling along.
that the caissons go rolling along.
To the front, day and night, where the doughboys dig and fight,
and those caissons go rolling along.
Our barrage will be there, fired on the rocket's flare,
as those caissons go rolling along.
Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" in the field artillery.
Shout out your numbers loud and strong (one two!)
For where e'er we go, you will always know that the
caissons go rolling along.
that the caissons go rolling along.
