THE OLD NORTH STATE, 
 
 SONG AND CHORUS. 
 WORDS by HON. WILLIAM GASTON. 
 
 1. 
 
 Carolina ! Carolina ! Heaven's blessings attend her ! 
 While we live we will cherish, protect and defend her ; 
 Though the scorner may sneer at and witlings defame her, 
 Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her. 
 
 Chorus. 
 Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the Old North State forever ! 
 Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North State! 
 
 2. 
 
 Though she envies not others their merited glory, 
 Yet her name stands the foremost in Liberty's story ! 
 Though too true to herself e'er to crouch to oppression, 
 None e'er yields to just rule more loyal submission. 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 3. 
 
 Plain and artless her sons, but whose doors open faster, 
 To the knock of the stranger, or tale of disaster? 
 How like to the rudeness of their native mountains. 
 Rich ore in their bosoms and life in their fountains. 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 4. 
 And her daughters, the queen of the forest resembling. 
 So graceful, so constant, to gentlest breath trembling, 
 So true at their hearts when the test is applied them, 
 How blessed each day as we spend it beside them ! 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 5. 
 Then let all who love us, love the land that we live in, 
 (As happy a region as this side of Heaven), 
 Where Plenty and Freedom, Love and Peace smile before us, 
 Raise aloud, raise together, the heart-thrilling chorus ! 
 Hurrah ! Hurrah, etc.
