The Caissons Go Rolling Along (Artillery Song)
By Edmund L. Gruber
Copyright 1921, 1936

[verse 1]
Over hill, over dale,
We have hit the dusty trail,
And those caissons go rolling along.
"Counter march! Right about!"
Hear those wagon soldiers shout,
While those caissons go rolling along

[chorus]
For it's Hi! Hi! Hee!
in the Field Artillery,
You will always know
That those caissons are rolling along,
(Keep'em rolling)
that those caissons are rolling along.

[After Last Chorus]
Batt’ry Halt!

[verse 2]
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
While those caissons go rolling along
