"They Call the Wind Maria" Lyrics

(Alan J. Lerner - Frederick Loewe)

(Mariah.)

A way out west they've got a name
For wind and rain and fire
The rain is Tess the fire is Jo
And they call the wind Maria.

Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flying
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying.

Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria.
(Maria.) (Maria.)

Before I knew Maria's name
I heard her wails and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shinin'.

And then one day I left my girl
Left her far behind me
Maria blow my love to me
I need my love beside me.

Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria.

Out here they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no name for lonely.

Now I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a stars to guide me
Maria blow her love to me
I need her here beside me.

Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria...
