They Call the Wind Maria

Way out west, they got a name For rain and wind and fire The rain is Tess, the fire’s joe and They call the wind Marīa O no, Marīa blows the stars around And sends the clouds a-flying Marīa makes the mountain sounds Like folks were up there dying Marīa, They call the wind Marīa Now before I knew Marīa's name And heard her wail and whining I had a girl and she had me And the sun was always shining O, but then one day I left my girl I left her far behind me And now I’m lost, I’m oh so lost Not even God can find me Marīa, O, Marīa, They call the wind Marīa I hear they got a name for rain And wind and fire only But when you’re lost and all alone There ain’t no words but lonely And I’m a lost and lonely man Without a star to guide me Marīa, blow your love to me I need my girl beside me He, Marīa, O, Marīa I’m lonely can’t you see Marīa, O, Marīa Please blow my love to me Marīa, blow my love to me
