They Call the Wind Maria lyrics

Maria, Maria

They call the wind Maria

Away out here they got a name

For rain and wind and fire

The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe

And they call the wind Maria

Maria blows the stars around

And sends the clouds a-flyin'

Maria makes the mountain sound

Like folks were up there dyin'

Maria, Maria

They call the wind Maria

Before I knew Maria's name

And heard her wail and whinin'

I had a girl and she had me

And the sun was always shinin'

But then one day I left my girl

I left her far behind me

And now I'm lost so gone and lost

Not even God can find me

Maria, Maria

They call the wind Maria

Out here they got a name for rain

For wind and fire only

But when you're lost and all alone

There ain't no word but lonely

And I'm a lost and lonely man

Without a star to guide me

Maria blow my love to me

I need my girl beside me

Maria, Maria

They call the wind Maria

Maria, Maria

Blow my love to me.
