Hark the Sound/TAG (I’m a Tar Heel Born…)
Hark the Sound is a UNC fight song written by William Starr Myers in 1897.
TAG (I’m a Tar Heel Born…) originated as an addition to Hark The Sound in the late 1890s and early 1900s, sung (probably first) at a 1903 baseball game against Brown University.
Here are lyrics of Hark the Sound/TAG (I'm a Tar Heel Born…).
The lyrics of TAG (I'm a Tar Heel Born…) are in the following verse (from "I'm a Tar Heel born I'm a Tar Heel bred" to "RAH! RAH! RAH!").
1. Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and True
Singing Carolina's praises
Shouting N.C.U.
Hail to the brightest Star of all
Clear its radiance shine
Carolina priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine.
I'm a Tar Heel born I'm a Tar Heel bred
And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead.
So it's RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina
RAH! RAH! RAH!
2. 'Neath the oaks the sons true hearted
Homage pay to thee
Time worn walls give back their echo
Hail to U.N.C.
3. Though the storms of life assail us
Still our hearts beat true
Naught can break the friendships formed at
Dear old N.C.U.

Here are lyrics of Carolina Loyalty Song.
1. As Carolina's Sons, We raise
our thankful hearts and voices high
For all sweet things that tongue can praise
are gather'd underneath the Sky
When fame or fortune finds us where
We clasp the hand of friendship true
Her loyal Sons will breathe a prayer
For Carolina and the Blue.
2. For noble conduct on the field
For wisdom nurtured in thy halls
For high ideals and fruitful yield
For friendships made within thy walls
We shall not fail to honor thee
And cherish all the memories dear
That bind our hearts more fervently
To Carolina year by year.
3. When we who sing can sing no more
When classmates, too, are gone at last
We'll meet upon that other shore
To sing the praises of the past
Fair Carolina's fame will tell
Wherever men of honor dwell
Yes Carolina's fame will tell
Wherever men of honor dwell.
