They Call the Wind Maria

Away out here they've 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 sets the clouds a-flyin' Maria makes the mountains sound Like folks was out there dyin' Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria Before I knew Maria's name And heard her wail and whinin' I had a gal and she had me And the sun was always shinin' But then one day I left my gal I left her far behind me And now I'm lost so gol darn lost Not even God can find me Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria Out here they have a name for rain Wind and fire only But when you're lost and all alone There ain't no name for lonely I'm a lost and lonely man Without a star to guide me Maria blow my love to me I need my gal beside me Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria Maria, Maria They call the wind maria
