Military Cadence - Collected Cadences

Collected Cadences

Some common cadences collected at the Naval Academy include:

• Old King Cole
• Blood Upon the Risers
• I wish all the girls|I Wish All the Girls Were
• Irene Irene (Air Force cadence)

As soon as 1952, the U.S. Army adopted The Army Goes Rolling Along as its service theme song, with the lyric "count off the cadence loud and strong" a reference to Duckworth's cadence. Its melody and lyrics derive from the traditional When the Caissons Go Rolling Along.
