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.
(Here are a few of the many versions of this song.)
You're in the Army now,
You're not behind a plow;
You'll never get rich,
On the salary which
You get in the Army now.
You're in the army now.
You're not behind a plow.
You may have fun,
you son-of-gun.
You're in the army now
You're in the army now,
you're not behind the plow
You'll never get rich
Just doing your hitch
You're in the army now
The Infantry, the Infantry with dirt behind there ears,
The Infantry, the Infantry, they drink up all the beers,
The cavalry, Artillery, and Corps of Engineers,
They couldn't lick the Infantry in a hundred thousand years
Oh, Lord of Hosts! Almighty King!
Behold the sacrifice we bring!
To every arm Thy strength impart,
Thy spirit shed through every heart.
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires;
Thy hand hath made our nation free!
To die for her is serving Thee.
Be Thou a pillar for to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe;
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud.
God of all Nations! Sovereign Lord!
In Thy dread Name we draw the sword,
We lift the starry flag on high,
That fills with light our stormy sky.
From treason's rent, from murder's stain,
Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea
Join our loud anthem: praise to Thee!
(Irving Berlin)
When I was mustered out The Army wasn't really bad at all. A soldier out of luck Gee, I wish I was back in the Army. There's a lot to be said for the Army. Gee, I wish I was back in the Army.

Perkins) "I am the infantry, follow me "I am the Cavalry, follow me "I am the armor, follow me Armor, Cav and Infantry Armor, Cav and Infantry But that's my job, supporting THE THREE" Songs about the Army
