The Caissons Go Rolling Along
C
Over hill, over dale
as we hit the dusty trail,
G7 C
And the Caissons go rolling along.
C
In and out, hear them shout,
counter march and right about,
G7 C
And the Caissons go rolling along.
C F C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
in the field artillery,
Am D7 G7
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
C E7 F C
For where'er you go, you will always know
G7 C
That the Caissons go rolling along.
C
In the storm, in the night, action left or action right
G7 C
See those Caissons go rolling along
C
Limber front, limber rear,
prepare to mount your cannoneer
G7 C
And those Caissons go rolling along.
C F C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
in the field artillery,
Am D7 G7
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
C E7 F C
For where'er you go, you will always know
G7 C
That the Caissons go rolling along
C
Was it high, was it low,
where the heck did that one go?
G7 C
As those Caissons go rolling along
C
Was it left, was it right, now we won't get home tonight
G7 C
And those Caissons go rolling along.
C F C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
in the field artillery,
Am D7 G7
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
C E7 F C
For where'er you go, you will always know
G7 C
That the Caissons go rolling along
