Dogs are barking but the caravan...

Hi,

I have seen differents versions of this saying in the Internet.

Some put "to bark" in the progressive, others use the simple present tense.
Some say " the caravan goes on", but the other give "the caravan moves on" or even "...passes on".

What is the "classic" (or rather most common) version?
