James Taylor Seminole Wind Lyrics

Seminole Wind 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



Way down south in the Everglades

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves

Eagles fly and the otters play in the land of the Seminole



Blow, blow Seminole wind

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

Calling to you like a long lost friend

'Cause I know who you are



Blow, blow from the Okeechobee

Way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligator and the gar



Progress came and took it's toll

And in the name of flood control

They made their plans and they drained the land

And now the glades are going dry



Last time I walked in the swamp

I sat up on a Cypress stump

I listened close and I heard the ghost

Of Osceola cry



Blow, blow Seminole wind

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

Calling to you like a long lost friend

I know who you are



Blow, blow from the Okeechobee

Way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligator and the gar



Blow, blow Seminole wind

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

Calling to you like a long lost friend

'Cause I know who you are



Blow, blow from the Okeechobee

Way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligator and the gar



Blow Seminole, blow Seminole, blow Seminole
