Ever since the days of old Men would search for wealth untold, They’d dig for silver
G D A Em G
and for gold And leave the empty holes; And way down south in the Everglades
D A
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
Em G D A
The eagles fly and the otters play In the land of the Seminole;
Em G D A
So blow, blow Seminole wind Blow like you're never gonna blow again
Em G D A
I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend But I don't know who you are
Em G D A
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee All the way up to Micanopy
Em G D A Em G D A
Blow across the home of the Seminole The aligator and the gar
Em G D A
Progress came and took its toll And in the name of flood control
Em G
They made their plans and they drained the land
D A Em G
Now the Glades are goin' dry And the last time I walked in the swamp
D A Em G D A
I stood up on a cyprus stump I listened close and I heard the ghost Of Oceola cry
