"The Old North State"
Carolina! Carolina! heaven's blessings attend her,
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever,
Tho' she envies not others, their merited glory,
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever,
Then let all those who love us, love the land that we live in,
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever,
written by William Gaston
composed by Mrs. E. E. Randolph
While we live we will cherish, protect and defend her,
Tho' the scorner may sneer at and witlings defame her,
Still our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State.
Say whose name stands the foremost, in liberty's story,
Tho' too true to herself e'er to crouch to oppression,
Who can yield to just rule a more loyal submission.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State.
As happy a region as on this side of heaven,
Where plenty and peace, love and joy smile before us,
Raise aloud, raise together the heart thrilling chorus.
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State.
Here's to the land of the long leaf pine,
Here's to the land of the cotton bloom white,
Here's to the land where the galax grows,
Here's to the land where maidens are fair,
The summer land where the sun doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,
Here's to "Down Home," the Old North State!
Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night,
Where the soft southern moss and jessamine mate,
'Neath the murmuring pines of the Old North State!
Where the rhododendron's rosette glows,
Where soars Mount Mitchell's summit great,
In the "Land of the Sky," in the Old North State!
Where friends are true and cold hearts rare,
The near land, the dear land, whatever fate,
The blest land, the best land, the Old North State!

Verse 1
Mighty is your name,
Steeped in glory and tradition,
Object of acclaim.
Where brave men fought the foe of freedom,
Tyranny decried,
'Til the bell of independence
filled the countryside.
May your future be,
filled with honor everlasting
as your history.
Blessed by God's own hand,
Birthplace of a mighty nation,
Keystone of the land.
Where first our country's flag unfolded,
Freedom to proclaim,
May the voices of tomorrow
glorify your name.
May your future be,
filled with honor everlasting
as your history.
