Composer(s): Major Edmund L. Gruber

and multiple other artists



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
 
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

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
