OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left

Ever since the days of old Men would search for wealth untold

The Men Star Right one time you go

Left Allemande and Weave

So, blow, blow Seminole wind

Swing and Promenade again (Blow like you're never gonna blow again)

I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

But I know who you are

FIGURE

Heads Promenade Halfway you go

Pass the Ocean, Extend and go

Girls Trade, Swing Thru and then

Boys Run and Couples Circulate

Bend the Line, Slide Thru and then

Swing the corner Promenade my friend

* I’m callin’ to you like a long-lost friend

But I know who you are

ALTERNATE LYRICS

* I listened close and I heard the ghost

Of Oseola cry

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

ORIGINAL 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
And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
The eagles fly and the otters play
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
 
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 goin' dry
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I stood up on a cyprus stump
I listened close and I 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
