US Armed Forces Lyrics

 US Army

“Over hill, over dale

We will hit the dusty trail,

And those Caissons go rolling along.

In and out, hear them shout,

Counter marching all about,

And those Caissons go rolling along.

For it’s hi! hi! hee!

In the field artillery,

Count out your numbers loud and strong (2, 3)

And where e’er you go,

You will always know

That those Caissons go rolling along.”

US Marines

“From the Halls of Montezuma

To the Shores of Tripoli;

We will fight our country’s battles

In the air, on land, and sea;

First we fight for right and freedom

And to keep our honor clean;

We are proud to claim the title

of United States Marine.”

US Navy

“Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.

Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-day-day-day.

Through our last night on shore, hail to the foam,

Until we meet once more,

Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home!”

US Air Force

“Off we go into the wild blue yonder,

Climbing high into the sun;

Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,

At ’em boys, Give ‘er the gun!

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,

Off with one terrible roar!

We live in fame or go down in flame.

For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!”

US Coast Guard

We’re always ready for the call

We place our trust in thee

Through howling gale and shot and shell

To win our victory

Semper Paratus is our Guide

Our Pledge, our motto too

We’re always ready do or die

Aye! Coast Guard, we fight for you!
