Harve Presnell - They Call The Wind Maria

(Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria)

Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Jo
And they call the wind Maria

Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dyin'

(Maria, Maria) They call the wind Maria

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

But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me

(Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria)

Out here they got a name for rain
For wind 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
