Pernell Roberts They Call The Wind Maria
Away out here, they got a name
For wind and rain and fire,
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe.
And they call the wind Maria.
Maria blows the stars around,
And sends the clouds a-flyin'.
Maria makes the mountains sound,
Like folks up there was 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 god darn lost,
Not even God can find me.
Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria
Out here, they got a name for wind,
And rain 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.
They call the Wind Maria
