Lyrics

Native Land

Been a long time coming knew it couldn?t last
So long Big Cypress see ya River of Grass
Tried to fight the white man couldn?t match his gun
Hiding out in the swampland with nowhere left to run

So all the way to Oklahoma the tears fill my hands
As I say goodbye to my native land

For years we lived in harmony built the Turtle Mound
All the tribes together now we?re Seminole bound
Down at Withlacoochee Osceola?s spirit lead
Tigertail and Bowlegs never forget the dead

Chorus
All the way to Oklahoma I make my final stand
As I say goodbye to my native land
