The Greyhound Fight Song is sung to the tune of the official United States Army song "The Army Goes Rolling Along." Many of you may recall the once popular march tune, "The Caisson Song," made famous by John Philip Sousa. But, what you do not know is "The Caisson Song was written by Brigadier General Edmund L. Gruber while stationed in the Philippines prior to World War One. Sousa inadvertently adapted "The Caisson Song" to a march tune without Gruber's permission. However, when Gruber contacted him, Sousa made sure he received all the royalties.

Later the Army adopted "The Caisson Song" as its own and Paul E. Ramsmeyer reworked the lyrics and renamed the song "The Army Goes Rolling Along."
