3. The Star Spangled Banner LyricsBy Francis Scott Key, 1814 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Caissons Over hill, over daleWe have hit the dusty trail,And the Caissons go rolling along.In and out, hear them shout,Counter march and right about,And the Caissons go rolling along.For it's hi! hi! hee!In the field artillery,Shout out your numbers loud and strong,For where'er you go,You will always knowThat the Caissons go rolling along.
