Here Comes Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here Comes Carolina is a fight song of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
As its title implies, it is most commonly played when a Tar Heel team enters the field of play. Traditionally, the band plays a version of the traditional orchestral warmup tune before launching into the song when the first player charges out of the tunnel.
At basketball games, the band plays the first seven notes of the song as each player's name is announced during player introductions, launching into the song at the end.
The last bit of the song's melody come from an old revival song, "Jesus Loves the Little Children."
[edit] Lyrics
Here comes Car'lina-lina, here comes Car'lina-lina!
We hail from NCU. We've got the spirit in it, we've got the team to win it.
We wear the colors white and blue.
So it's fight, fight, fight for Carolina,
as Davie did in days of old.
As we gather 'round the Well, cheer that Tar Heel team like hell for the glory of NCU!
"Davie" refers to William Davie, UNC's founder. "The Well" refers to the Old Well, a campus landmark.
