  • I went hog huntin on the Savannah river in South Carolina...it was the most beautiful place I ever saw. Im from New Jersey, but I have a hunting cabin in PA and my family is from WV. That bein said I would rather live in the mud of the deep south than the clay hills of the northeast. Nothin compares to a southern swamp! It calls me like a long lost friend!

  • @burt308308 I know what u mean I was raised in NE Philly PA and moved to the east Everglades FL in 86 after h.s. was great but too many paeple there now so I'm up in the Smokey Moutains in TN since 96

  • @horseboyken ya i grew up ion south fl homestead/redlands area i greatly miss the everglades , but i moved up to sevierville ,tn with my parents to finish highschool but now im done with highschool and just finished a tour in iraq alil over a year ago i plan on moving back down south even though its very beautiful here but i was born a glades boy and plan on dying a glades boy

  • awesome song!!!!

  • So true

  • I only like country music like this

  • Comment removed

  • love him and this song!!

  • I love u dillon rest in peace!!

  • @ guardsmanom134 I'll stick with my two tribes Cherokee and Blackfeet, I'll be proud to live as them and be proud to die. The far western side of the Oklahoma panhandle over by Black Mesa is where i'd take you and ride you through it cause it's mostly a lot of lava beds.

  • @TheCopperhead80 Been there, and it ain't shit to the desert, you just don't know hot till you've spent 6 months there in dead summer heat. Trust me, 130 degrees F ain't something to sneeze at!

  • @TheCopperhead80 And there's lava beds here, too!

  • My tribe is also Blackfeet also!

  • AHHHHH gosh 90s country is 2nd best, only to heavy metal.

  • Really good song, they've been playing it on the radio out here. Thought I'd look it up and it's a really good song.

  • This is not about the Seminole tribe at all, it's about the destruction of Florida (which does include the persecution of the Seminole people). Newer residents like Florida just the way it is because they don't know it any different - sadly. The Seminole wind is, of course a hurricane, and John is saying come back and blow all the macadam and cement away and put Florida back the way it was and should be.

    John D McDonald had it nailed in his Travis McGee series of books!

  • @TheDraigwrecsam Any American Indian can tell you this; destruction of our home hits everyone, not just the Eagle, with his white head, or the Alligator, with his tough skin, or the Buffalo, who ruled the prairies for longer than our ancestors walked them. In time, the White Eye saw his error, but is it to late for us to change? Can we put back what we took, and make mother earth happy and free again? I do not think that will come to pass, and it saddens me. - Red Cloud, My ancestor.

  • @guardsmanom134 the earth takes care of itself someday the virus we call humanity will be wiped off earth.........................­.....

  • Wow my dad used to sing this song every day, i haven't heard it since he passed away over 4 years ago.. R.I.P dad, Love & miss you

  • Comment removed

  • No guy in designer jeans and he doesnt have some guitarist in the back with pink mowhawk?.....Im confused this is country right? lol. Awesome song and still crank this with the windows down, not on the radio anymore but thank god for the ipod.

  • I love this song. It speaks to me of places I've been. I was four when my granddad took me on a tour of the Everglades. Sad to see the destruction that went on.

  • The greatest contradiction in the good ole USA just found the greatest country song ever written. I am Cherokee, chaktaw, flathead, and a red neck country boy from the southwest, and if you wish to know tough terrain, come on out to Blythe, CA, and maybe if you don't sweat to death, we'll have ourselves a nice hike...

  • I love this ode to the beautiful Everglades. Having lived in Florida my entire life,I have seen the glades attacked by greed and by industry,to have somewhere to dump there by products of sugar refining. I cannot count the time my father took us boys,his three sons and showed us the natural wonders and beauty handed to us by the creator. I am not Seminole,I'm Osage..We must protect the glades so that fathersof the future can take their sons into them,and show them the natural wonders .

  • REAL Country music

  • @rufus1089 PLUS ONE!..... and I "hate country music"....

  • @ bbygrl85848 come out here and face me and i'll prove that u whites do not run the world. Come out to the midwest here in Oklahoma Panhandle and i'll run u thru some of the roughest country u've ever seen. 

  • @TheCopperhead80 i would fuck you up in a fist fight i dont loose prarie nigger

  • @bbygrl85848 Watch who you're callin' a prairie nigger, You wouldn't win a fist fight with a pillow, let alone a Cherokee! The only person who can even relate to a Cherokee's way of life, is a Samurai, and they're not even Native American! Cherokee, So proud to live, so proud to die!

  • @guardsmanom134 heck ya . thank you , your totally right , she would never EVER win against a Cherokee . :)

  • @guardsmanom134 shut the fuck up cme see me this is her husband golden gloves 20 inch arms i tear people apart 4 fun come see me endicott ny lucas harasta is my name i dont loose fights if you injuns areso tough get a war party together come see me i spit on osseola the chiefs grave nd ill fuck your dead grandma

  • @bbygrl85848 white power

  • @bbygrl85848 check out my pic on facebook lucas harasta i dont loose

  • @bbygrl85848 Golden gloves? You couldn't even lift gloves made of gold, dumbass! And tearing people apart for fun is not something to aspire to. The People of the Wolf don't see you as worth their time, since you can't even spell "indian" right. Your education must be piss-poor, to be so niaive as to challenge someone who has a history of war running through their blood, as well as a history of being the most intelligent of tribes. Go back to your stone hut, You're not worth my time.

  • @guardsmanom134 hey fool i bench press 350 so i got no problem lifting anything keep runnin your cocksucker on the internet your a telephone toughguy faggot........................­...........

  • @bbygrl85848 And the idea that you would fornicate with the dead, further proves your lack of intelligence. I'm one of the only people that still follows the old ways, and as such am one of the only people that I know of that has survived the harsh desert with no more than my knife for six months! Still think you're so tough?

  • @bbygrl85848 my tomahawk would shred your 20 inch arms.. muscles are nothing compared to cunning... and better still i bet you couldnt punch your way out of an arrow or bullet? go back to your cave troll

  • @voivode24 check this out cochise i dont care about your tommahawk dildo that you shove in your ass.come see me and oh yeah this is the 21st century we use guns if you pulled your tomahawk on me id paint the wall with your brains we got guns up here oh yeah osseola takes it in the ass by crazy horse faggot

  • @bbygrl85848 and check this out typical inbreeder.. you wouldnt see or hear me coming.. id sneak up behind you and slit your filthy throat.. and dont think for a second i dont know how to use a gun/rifle.. i just prefer the traditional method :D

  • @TheCopperhead80 your a prarie nigger

  • @bbygrl85848 and your a damn bitch . leave us Cherokees alone . we travel together and stand up for ech other . and any one of us could kick your ass in a country second darlin . so hush your mouth and leave us the hell alone .

  • @Geco256 actually this is her husband and i boxed golden gloves and i did 10 years in prison so fuck you indian faggots

  • I've always loved this song. I am English. The first time I heard it I was driving across Florida and it came on the radio. Awesome. Thanks for posting this masterpiece. You might want to check out Wounded Knee by Keith Beasley on here.

  • Now this version and video more in tune with what he is singing about,,no Mt's in FLA last time I checked(other video)

  • We need more country songs like this TODAY!!!

  • My mom told me to listen to this song and it is good but I have heard better. . .

  • I shot a bore this morning standing on the front porch in my underwear I just got a dip copenhagen fresh bacon

  • i live in kentucky i love this song john is great at singing it...he also looks like my brother joe... where would we be without the great singers of our time...he is one of them....merry christmas everyone....

  • @MrRaisingstorm

    what part of Ky are ya from?

  • well we whites run the world

  • @bbygrl85848 Maybe that is the reason everything is going to hell these days!

  • As for you CopperBased, u white people claim u were the first ones in North America, and then u thought u owned it and started pushing us around. We didnt ask for the fight. U people did. We may have fought against other tribes, but it was our way of pride. U should be ashamed of yourself.

  • @TheCopperhead80 Oh hush, this isn't about you nor is it about any other indians. It's about the destruction of Florida you dick. -_-

  • @ThePuppetMuffin And who lived in Florida long before the White Eye?

  • Hey TheFuriousHick, i'm part Cherokee and part Ute, thanks to u whites we have no real tribes anymore. Come out to the midwestern states and we'll see how much white man power u have to face me. I am disappointed in how u look at society of races. ur lucky they havent found u and killed u.

  • I am 13 years old and I just love to hear this song because I am a country boy and it's so great to see that the Seminole way of life is being continued. I have Seminole in me and when it says "I listened close and I heard the ghost of Oceola cry" I get goosebumps and a chill runs down my spine I can sing the whole song it is just a great song showing my Native American herritage and I still hunt and fish and I use the animals I take in North Florida just as my ancestors would have in the Glades

  • wow.... wow really? People like this "thefurioushick" guy are a disgrace to the US and to the human race as a whole. As a member of both I would just like to point out that those kind of people are a minority and a dwindling one at that. So the fewer they get, the louder what remains has to be to not feel alone. Yes it is quite sad and pathetic.

  • Anyone who dislikes this is a fuckin monkeycracksmokin imbread an if not ur daddy is for not teaching u good music

  • it's really weird I was driving through seminole county this song started playing

  • @thefurioushick what ever white fucker. fuck you!

  • @thefurioushick

    Sir please stop with the crap nobody cares, and its rude and uncalled for. I hope you will soon see the errors of your ways. Have a nice day

  • @TheFuriousHick dude don't attach ole John Anderson to the racist shit, what you had to say had funny moments and I'm glad we live in a country were you can have your individual beliefs. Good day sir.

  • This is the first song I listen to on Columbus Day, just to remind this white boy of the cost of prosperity. History is the saddest story ever written.

  • I'm part Native American and whitey blighted up the land and rapped us red and they took our tipees and burnt down totem poles

  • John Anderson would take this to #2 on 11-28-92 and if you don't like like this song you suck i don't care if i offend you or not you suck there's no if, ands, or buts about it!!!!

  • Deep and wonderfull song. Like.

  • Revisionist history paints the dead natives of America as being peaceful and somehow 'better' than the white man. This despite their repeated campaigns to kill each other off compounded by starvation through bad society planning.

  • ok he murdered millions makes him so much better. an @strengthofwill i know english very well i just choose not to always talk it properly.. ever heard of a southern twang in a persons voice well its what i have so deal....

  • Alright i just bout had it with all the hate towards indians.. im cherokee blackfoot and navaho.. atleast the indains had more respect for therselves and there land you got a guy down there talkin bout hittler bein a great leader wtf he murdered thousands of innocent ppl.. damn dont you ppl know your history

  • @sburton9109 I KNOW MY HISTORY VERY WELL I KNOW HITLER MURDERED MILLIONS I STUDY IT EVERYDAY THATS WHY I THINK HE WAS A GREAT LEADER

  • @sburton9109 I KNOW MY HISTORY VERY WELL I KNOW HITLER MURDERED MILLIONS I STUDY IT EVERYDAY THATS WHY I THINK HE WAS A GREAT LEADER

    ACTUALLY I LEFT THAT SHIT 4 DRSJ1969 HE WAS RUNNING HIS MOUTH TO ME SO ANYONE ELSE I OFFENDED I DIDNT MEAN IT

  • @sburton9109 Know your English and History. Its " They had respect for each other." and "Their Land"......oh also, Hitler killed 11 million people.....that's a spot higher than thousands brother. Just sayin.

  • custer another hero

  • adolf hitler was a real leader i think osseolla takes it in the ass by his gay black lover

  • now the oglala sioux were real indians you seminoles are punks

  • osseolla your chief was white i think thats great once again the white man tellin you guys what to do

  • white power

  • indians aint got the brain to run this country

  • i said the indians were relocated to florida they werent all from florida thats what i meant im glad we took your land all you indians do is drink and bitch.. im white we took this shit good luck getting it back...............

  • if you indians had your way the glades would be casinos

  • Kiss my ass,this is a true shit:-)The rest of ,u ,kiss my ass!

  • Some people say we have a lot to learn from the natives. Personally, I think they have more to learn from us.

  • indians could care less about thier land and history all they care about is thier casinos and getting money from white people

  • @teenangler1 no doubt if they were all that they would fight instead of drink

  • @teenangler1 you are ignorant...learn some history before you insult my people.

  • @bgannster your people are a bunch of tree huging money loving panzies so you can suck it

  • @teenangler1 yea

  • @teenangler1 you know nothing at all do you? im only a quarter, native american that is, and im poor, but i care for nothing more than the preservation of what we have left for our sons and daughters, and yours as well...

  • Im 14 and love this song saw him play it in concert

  • I also hate all the mexicans flooding into this country claiming to be native Americans and we stole it from them, what a crock of shit, they come from a different genetic tribe and in most cases you can tell them apart from a full blooded Native American.

  • @PupuTheClown fuck you your an immigrant

  • If you're less than 1/2 Native American, you're not Native American. If you still act like you are, you're Prairie Wigger.

  • This song truly should be Florida's state song! I am proud of my native American heritage! Great vid thanks for posting!

  • I'm 21, and not a lot of people my age truly appreciate their heritage. I have a pretty good amount of Cherokee Indian in my blood still, and I absolutely LOVE it. I love my Native American side, and embrace as much of it as I can. :)

  • this song came out and reminds me of when my babygirl came into this world..I am a full blooded Oglala Lakota Sioux from South Dakota..Crazy Horse country..

  • @mymegan11 I'm from armstrong count in SD !!!! 100% Wadonklin!!

  • good song

  • the seminole indians were relocated to florida.......

  • @bbygrl85848 I am Seminole and we were always in Florida the US government tried to force us out and many went to the reservation in Oklahoma. Those Seminole's that stayed in Florida fought of the US troops and won.

    So, we are split up between Our original home in Florida and the Seminole Nation in Oklahoma.

  • Were the not the Seminoles decedents from the Creeks? Correct me if I am mistaken please. And thank you for the education.

  • @ridged8 yes

  • @drsjr1969 actually the seminole tribe was formed as a federation of other tribes for protection you even had a white chief oseolla and you let blacks in....................

  • @drsjr1969 get your facts straight cochise seminoles werent even real indians they were mixed a loose federation of other persecutyed tribes and blacks you even had a white chief osseolla......................­......

  • @bbygrl85848 You are the one who's facts are wrong! You are the one who wrote that the Seminoles were relocated to Florida in the first place which was completely incorrect. Stop being a troll and spreading misinformation. Use your time for more positive things in life instead of spreading lies. The fact that you said we were relocated to Florida in the first place says you don't know what your talking about.

  • @drsjr1969 hey you fuckin injun faggot if you were here i would knock your teeth down your throat faggot

  • @drsjr1969 i do use my time for other things you know what they are lifting weights and pounding smart mouth indian punks like you im using my wifes you tube now man all you computer gangsters man..i would pound you....................

  • I love this guys voice, oh so much. :)

  • I don't care What you say this is the TRUE Florida State Anthem.

  • a very haunting voice...love this guy.

  • You seem to miss the point. First the Cherokee nation was actually one of the largest because it would absorb other smaller tribes. Second according the government you only need to be 1/8th Native American to be considered legally for benefits. And 3rd my great grandfather was irish does that mean i am not Irish? My other Great Grandfather was 100% Cherokee, I don't claim any benefits but im as much cherokee as irish, by blood why cant i honor that side of my family too? or should i forget them?

  • Anyone that dislikes this should pull their head out their ass.

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACCUALLY WORKS.YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEXT NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS ON THE NEXT THREE VIDEIOS YOU WILL DYE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.NOW, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP.THIS IS SCARY PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEIOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.THIS IS SCARYCAUSE IT WORK

  • for some reason i had this song stuck in my head and i had to play it lol

  • I'm proud of my brave ancestors who fought their hearts out to tame this land we now call home. But now their being portrayed as the bad guys while the indians are made out to be this great noble race that we destroyed. I for one am not ashamed but grateful. Everywhere you look the European whites are being told we should be sorry for everything we have accomplished and give it away. Especially in america but also France and the U.K.

  • i camped on the st johns for 3 weeks when i was 14 with nothing but my bow a shotgun and a tent

  • Many people have this view of the original American settlers as people that came in and murdered Native Americans for their land. That isnt true. The oiginal settlers befriended the Native American tribes that were peaceful and kind. The ones they killed were the tribes that raped, pillaged, and murdered the peaceful tribes. Why do you think we celebrate Thanksgiving today? The peaceful tribes taught our ancestors many things. They were not murderers.

  • @CarlChub Our history is being so diluted with every generation, my grand parents and great grant parents worked for and with the hudsonbay company through canada, then progressed through the us also blending with the native they worked with and respected, so today here we stand, so many blended spirits.

  • Is that Gaddafi at 1:28 ?

  • native pride forever

  • im like 1/4 cheroke and i wanan know more about my native culture any idea how i can?

  • @big111mack in books

  • @Vechet in all the books i have read all the do is talk about how they was savage twards the europeans. when i know all they was doing was defending their homes

  • @big111mack go to a reservation and talk to a shaman or really anyone there . theyll be able to tell youmuch more than one of those lame european books could ever begin to dream of .

  • just learned the fiddle opener to this song. I feel great.

  • ive listen to this song 20 times in a row it reminds me of the storys of my grandfather running thru the swamps of the everglades RIP Norman Daniel Padgett i wanna be as strong as he was

  • Man that fiddle and piano gives me goose bumps. What an awesome song!

  • Good song. Haters and racists ppl who have simple minds will never understand y the otters played in the land of Seminoles. 

  • Yes, I felt it was. He's been hiding in some 90's country music video all this time! Wow, poor people of Libya had no way of knowing :/

  • 1:26 Muammar al-Gaddafi, what you doing in Seminole?

    derp

  • @9000tacos Really? Was that necessary ?

  • @9000tacos hahahahahahaha

  • @9000tacos I start laughing see that clip of the video. Brilliant.

  • Loved this song when it came out. It's kind of personal for me because my Aunts and Uncles grew up with Bobby Henry (the first Seminole man close up in the video). Such an honest song about Florida and the Everglades. They are protected till someone with enough money wants to build something.
