Verse:
March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We're the Army and proud of our name
We're the Army and proudly proclaim
Chorus:
First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.
Refrain:
Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.
Verse:
Valley Forge, Custer's ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton's tanks,
And the Army went rolling along
Minutemen, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)
Verse:
Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we're right,
And we'll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)
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 For it's 'Hi, Hi, Hee' in the field artillery Call off your numbers loud and strong (2!, 3!) And where-e'er we go, you will always know That those Caissons go rolling along 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 glare While those Caissons go rolling along For it's 'Hi, Hi, Hee' in the field artillery Call off your numbers loud and strong (2!, 3!) And where-e'er we go, you will always know That those Caissons go rolling along With the cavl'ry boot to boot We will join in the pursuit And those Caissons go rolling along Action front (at a trot!) Volley fire with shell and shot While those Caissons go rolling along For it's 'Hi, Hi, Hee' in the field artillery Call off your numbers loud and strong (2!, 3!) And where-e'er we go, you will always know That those Caissons go rolling along Should the foe penetrate Ev'ry gunner lies in wait And those Caissons go rolling along (Fire at will! Lay 'em low!) Never stop for any foe While those Caissons go rolling along For it's 'Hi, Hi, Hee' in the field artillery Call off your numbers loud and strong (2!, 3!) And where-e'er we go, you will always know That those Caissons go rolling along But if fate me should call And in action I should fall Keep those Caissons go rolling along Then in peace I'll abide When I take my final ride On a Caisson that's rolling along For it's 'Hi, Hi, Hee' in the field artillery Call off your numbers loud and strong (2!, 3!) And where-e'er we go, you will always know That those Caissons go rolling along (Keep 'em rolling) That those Caissons are rolling along (Batt'ry Halt!)
