Are there alternate lyrics to the Caisson version of the song? This site has lyrics other than those in the article.-- Daveswagon 01:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
The way I learned the song it was caskets that go rolling along 66.189.9.198 19:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
My father, a WWII AAC vet taught me another version, reflecting the modernization of the military:
Over hill, over dale, We have hit the dusty trail, With those caissons and hosses all gone. See the green guidon stuck, On the off side of a truck, Motor trucks with the pieces hooked on.
Then it's hi-hi-see, The muddy infantry, Sound off your klaxons loud and strong! Ah-oog-ah!) For where e're we go, We will always know,
That those caissons and hosses are gone. Motor trucks with the pieces hooked on.
Anyone else remember the rest of the verses? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.209.9 ( talk) 04:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I wonder where the "Over hill, over dill" line comes from, but I can't find an original version to disprove what's been posted. The best I could find was 1921 sheet music, which has the lyrics "Over hill, over dale..."

The article on 'Anchors Aweigh" calls it the United States Navy MARCH but in the 'history' section of that article says that the Navy has never 'officially' adopted it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.6.219 ( talk • contribs) 13:00, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Isn't this tune quite a bit older than this? Isn't the Caisson song something that was around for a decade or more before WWII? It's clearly the origin of this song, or vice versa, and they were singing that in the Spanish Civil War. AnnaGoFast ( talk) 07:30, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
