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
                G7                            C
That the Caissons go rolling along
G7                            C
That the Caissons go rolling along
