The song is based on the "Caisson Song" written by field artillery First Lieutenant (later Brigadier General) Edmund L. Gruber, Lieutenant William Bryden, and Lieutenant (later Major General) Robert Danford while stationed at Fort Stotsenburg in the Philippines in March 1908.[2] The tune quickly became popular in field artillery units. The Caisson Song By Major (later Brig. Gen.) Edmund L. Gruber Written in the Philippines in 1907 Compiled by John M. Holman, Hampton History Volunteer Over hill, over dale As we hit the dusty trail, And those caissons go rolling along. In and out, hear them shout, Counter march and right about, And those caissons go rolling along. {Refrain:} 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 those 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. {Refrain:} 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. {Refrain:}
