NC State Fight Song
The words to the Fight Song were written by Hardy Ray, Class of 1926, and the music was written by Edmund L. Gruber in 1908. It is essentially a sped-up version of "The Caisson Song," or more recently, "The Army Goes Rolling Along."
Shout aloud to the men,
Who will play the game to win.
We're behind you,
Keep fighting for State.
Hold that line,
Hold them fast,
We will reach victory at last
We're behind you
Keep fighting for State.
Rise up to the fray,
And let your colors wave,
Shout out for dear old NC State
(Go State!)
For where e'er we go,
We will let the whole world know,
We're behind you,
Keep fighting for State.

Famous quotes containing the words state, fight and/or song:
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But fight we must; and conquer we shall; in the end.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The song is ended, but the melody lingers on.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
