Seminole Wind   (Jopat 808)   Jerry Jestin

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
*Way down south in the everglades
Where the black water rolls and the sawgrass grows
The eagles fly and the otter play
In the land of the Seminoles
Circle left
So blow, blow, Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow
Left allemande, promenade
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are

FIGURE (heads twice, sides twice)    Plus, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands round you go
Right hand star 1/2 way, couples veer left
Acey deucey, bend the line, flutter wheel and go, sweep 1/4 more
Square thru 3/4 round the ring,
swing that corner, promenade I sing
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and drained the land
Now the glades are going dry

*The last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a cypress stump
I listened close and heard the ghost
Of Osceola cry
