Calypso (John Denver)

The Army Goes Rolling Along (aka "The Caisson Song" and "The Field Artillery Song")
Composer(s): Edmund L. Gruber



March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We’re the Army and proud of our name
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim

First to fight for the right
And to build the Nation’s might
And The Army Goes Rolling Along

Proud of all we have done
Fighting till the battle’s won
And the Army Goes Rolling Along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along

Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks
San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start
Always fighting from the heart
And the Army keeps rolling along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along

Men in rags, men who froze
Still that Army met its foes
And the Army went rolling along
Faith in God, then we’re right
And we’ll fight with all our might
As the Army keeps rolling along

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong (Two! Three!)
For where e’er we go
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along
