With their summits bath’d in glory, Like our Prince Immanuel’s land! Is it any wonder then, That my heart with rapture thrills, As I stand once more with lov’d ones On those North Carolina hills? CHORUS Oh the hills, beautiful hills, How I love those North Carolina hills. If o’er sea or land I roam, Still I think of happy home And the friends among the North Carolina hills. 2. Oh, the North Carolina hills! Where my girlhood hours were pass’d Where I often wandered lonely, And the future tried to cast. Many are our visions bright, Which the future ne’er fulfills. But how sunny were my day-dreams On those North Carolina hills! 3. Oh the North Carolina hills! How unchang’d they seem to stand. With their summits pointed sky-ward, To the great almighty’s land! Many changes I can see, Which my heart with sadness fills. But no changes can be noticed In those North Carolina hills! 4. Oh, ye North Carolina hills! I must bid you now a-dieu.
