The Army Song
Gruber / Sousa  1908
C
Over Chill, over dale,
as we hit the dusty trail,
and the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong.
In and out, hear them shout,
counter march and right about,
and the Ccaissons go G7rolling aClong.
Then it's Chi! hi! hee!
In the Ffield artilleCry;
Amshout out your Dnumbers loud and Gstrong
For where Ce'er you Ego,
Fyou will always Cknow,
that the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong. 
In the Cstorm, in the night,
action left or action right;
see those Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong
Limber front, limber rear,
prepare to mount your cannoneer,
and those Ccaissons go G7rolling aClong.
Then it's Chi! hi! hee!
In the Ffield artilleCry;
Amshout out your Dnumbers loud and Gstrong
For where Ce'er you Ego,
Fyou will always Cknow,
that the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong. 
Was it Chigh, was it low,
where the hell did that one go?
As those GCaissons go G7rolling aClong
Was it left, was it right,
now we won't get home tonight,
and those GCaissons go G7rolling aClong.
Then it's Chi! hi! hee!
In the Ffield artilleCry;
Amshout out your Dnumbers loud and Gstrong
For where Ce'er you Ego,
Fyou will always Cknow,
that the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong. 
that the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong. 
that the Gcaissons go G7rolling aClong.
