Seminole Wind Lyrics - Singles - Anderson John

Ever since the days of old 

Men would search for wealth untold 

They'd dig for silver and for gold 

And leave the empty holes; 

And way down south in the Everglades 

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves 

The eagles fly and the otters play 

In the land of the Seminole; 

Chorus 

So blow, blow Seminole wind 

Blow like you're never gonna blow again; 

I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend 

But I don't know who you are; 

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee 

All the way up to Micanopy (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee) 

Blow across the home of the Seminole 

The aligator and the gull 

Progress came and took its toll 

And in the name of flood control 

They made their plans and they drained the land 

Now the Glades are goin' dry 

And the last time I walked in the swamp 

I stood up on a cypruss stump 

I listened close and I heard the ghost 

Of Oseola cry 

Chorus X2
