Not born in North Carolina but my family was here before the War of Northern Aggression. In fact, during the Revolutionary War ...... Ancestors fought with the “Swamp Fox” down Charleston way.
So y’all can stop telling this yankee to go home. By the grace of my Creator and good fortune .............. I *am* “home”.
Yankee born, yankee bred. But when I die, I’ll be a tar heel dead.
