NCS Classroom Activity (Melody)

The Longleaf Pine Presented by Barina Bailey

Melody by Philip T. Fisher Arranged and orchestrated

by Terry Mizesko

Here’s to the land of the longleaf pine,

The summer land where the sun doth shine

Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great

Here’s to the Old North State!

Here’s to the land of maidens fair,

Where friends are true and cold hearts rare,

Where southern moss and jessamine fair, beneath the pines of the Old North State!

Where galax grows, rhododendrons glow and eagles fly in the “Land of the Sky”

Where soars Mount Mitchell’s summit great, “Down Home,” the Old North State!

Interlude

The near land, the dear whatever fate, the blessed land, the best land, the Old North State!
