Over hill, over dale,

as we hit the dusty trail,
        G           G7       C
and the caissons go rolling along.

In and out, hear them shout,

counter march and right about,
        C           G7       C
and the caissons go rolling along.

          C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
       F            C
In the field artillery;
Am             D                G
shout out your numbers loud and strong
          C        E
For where e'er you go,
F               C
you will always know,
         G           G7       C
that the caissons go rolling along. 

       C
In the storm, in the night,

action left or action right;
          G           G7       C
see those caissons go rolling along

Limber front, limber rear,

prepare to mount your cannoneer,
          C           G7       C
and those caissons go rolling along.

          C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
       F            C
In the field artillery;
Am             D                G
shout out your numbers loud and strong
          C        E
For where e'er you go,
F               C
you will always know,
         G           G7       C
that the caissons go rolling along. 

       C
Was it high, was it low,

where the hell did that one go?
         G           G7       C
As those Caissons go rolling along

Was it left, was it right,

now we won't get home tonight,
          G           G7       C
and those Caissons go rolling along.

          C
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
       F            C
In the field artillery;
Am             D                G
shout out your numbers loud and strong
          C        E
For where e'er you go,
F               C
you will always know,
         G           G7       C
that the caissons go rolling along. 
         G           G7       C
that the caissons go rolling along. 
         G           G7       C
that the caissons go rolling along.
