seminole wind
john anderson
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 sways. the eagles fly and the otters play
in the land of the seminole. so blow
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
all the way up to micanopy. blow across the home of the seminole
the alligators and the gar. 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. and the last time i walked in the swamp
i sat upon a cypress stump
i listened close and i heard the ghost
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
all the way up to micanopy. blow across the home of the seminole
the alligators and the gar.
