The Caissons go rolling along
2004 Reunion Concert CD

Written

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the
orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and
the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
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 the caissons
go rolling along.
Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hee! In the Field Artillery
Shout out
your numbers loud and strong,
Wher’er you go, you will always know,
That those caissons go rolling along,
From the East to the West we’re the bestest of the best
We’re
the Women’s Army Corps
So it hail all hail
The women will not fail
To help make the foe turn tail
Join our
song and with us march along
In the Women’s Army Corps

Over sinks, over pails
With the Sergeant on our tails
All the K. P.’s are scrubbing away
Shining pots, shining
pans,
Cleaning out the garbage cans
All the K. P.’s are scrubbing away
Oh it’s Hi! Hi! Hee! In the Kitchen scullerSixteen long hours of the day
And Wher’er we go,
By the smell you’ll
always know,
That the K. P.’s are scrubbing away
(Keep em scrubbing)That the K. P.’s are scrubbing away

The Honorable Edith Nourse Rogers, Congresswoman from Massachusetts, introduced the first bill to establish a women's auxiliary
in May 1941. On 14 May 1942, Congress approved the creation of a Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). Two days later, Mrs.
Oveta Culp Hobby was appointed the first Director of the WAAC.
Five training centers were opened within a year. The first at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, the second at Daytona Beach, Florida,
the third at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, the fourth at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and the fifth at Camp Ruston, Louisiana.
As an auxiliary of the Army, the WAAC had no military status, therefore Mrs. Rogers introduced another bill in 1943 to enlist
and appoint women in the Army of the United States. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill on 1 July 1943 and 90
days later the WAAC was discontinued and in its place was the Women's Army Corps (WAC). Colonel Hobby continued as Director
of the WAC
