"Seminole Wind" lyrics
Pitney Meyer (Mo Pitney & Johnny Meyer) Lyrics
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
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
Blow, blow 'cross the Okeechobee
Way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
Progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
Made their plans and they drained the lands
Now the glades are going dry
Last time I walked in the swamp
I sat down on a Cypress stump
Listened close and I heard the ghost of Osceola cry
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
Blow, blow 'cross the Okeechobee
Way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
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
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
Blow, blow 'cross the Okeechobee
Way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
Progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
Made their plans and they drained the lands
Now the glades are going dry
Last time I walked in the swamp
I sat down on a Cypress stump
Listened close and I heard the ghost of Osceola cry
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
Blow, blow 'cross the Okeechobee
Way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
