Seminole Wind Song Lyrics and Chords By ( John Anderson )

Ever since the days of old

Men would search for wealth untold

They’d dig for silver and for gold

nd leave the empty holes;

nd 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;

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 know who you are;

nd blow, blow from the Okeechobee

ll the way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligators and the gar

Progress came and took its toll

nd in the name of flood control

They made their plans and they drained the land

Now the lades are goin’ dry

nd the last time I walked in the swamp

I stood up on a cypress stump

I listened close and I heard the ghost

Of Osceola cry

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 know who you are;

nd blow, blow from the Okeechobee

ll the way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligators and the gar
