Songs About North Carolina, The Old North State

The state song is "Old North State" by William Gaston and Mrs. E. E. Randolph. It was once a big tobacco state but in the 21st century the state's economic profile has diversified to several industries including engineering and biotechnology. The Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean both offer plenty of natural beauty for the state. Other North Carolina themes for songwriters include Blue Ridge Mountains, Christmas trees, foothills, soybeans, melons, cotton, blizzards, tornadoes and hurricanes. The state faced major tornado damage in April 2011.
