They Call The Wind Maria - Lyrics

Title: They Call The Wind Maria
Artist: Kingston Trio
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe

Lyric:
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
