Seminole Wind (Live At Amalie Arena, Tampa, FL / May 4, 2017)
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
The eagles fly and the otter plays, 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
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
Now progress came and took its toll in the name of flood control
They made their plans to drain the land, now the Glades are goin' dry
The last time I walked in the swamp, I stood up on a cyprus stump
I listened close and heard the ghost of Oseola 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
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
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
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligator and the gar
