It's my favorite place on earth and I just love the thought that probably my ancestors did sail over with 'Walt' and settle in the region. A lot of the town names in NC are identical to those in the North East of England.
Lyrics
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
I've travelled far and I've travelled wide
Then I crossed over the great divide
To a place where my ancestors long ago
Must have hung out 'cos I feel so at home
And it's named for England's favourite son
And a real good friend of Elizabeth 1
It's a little bit of heaven and a home from home
Got to get me back there and never more roam
From Raleigh, North Carolina
Folks all give you a welcoming smile
And for you know they'll go the extra mile
The women are pretty and the music's fine
Got to get me back soon to North Carolina
And it's named, etc.
Marie and Susan, Birdie, Tara, Penny and all
Got to get me back soon and be with you all
When I think about you there's a smile on my face
I'm sitting here in England dreaming of the place
That's named, etc.
