[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And way down south in the Everglades
Where the blackwater rolls and the sawgrass 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 calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gar
[Verse 3]
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 going dry
[Verse 4]
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a Cypress stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Osceola cry
[Chorus]
So 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
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gar
