The Old North State'
Here's to the land where the galax grows,
Where the rhododendron roseate glows;
Where soars Mount Mitchell's summit great,
In the "Land of the Sky," in the "Oid North State."
Here's to the land of the cotton blooms white,
Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night.
Where soft Southern moss and jessamine mate,
'Near the murmering pines of the “ Old North State."
66
Here's to the land where maiden's are falrest,
Where friends are the truest, and cold hearts are rarest:
The near land, the dear land, whatever our fate,
The blest land, the best land, the "Old North State."
Here's to the land of the Long Leaf Pine,
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.'
