They Call The wind Maria

They Call The wind Maria - P J Proby

Away out here they gotta 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 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

I 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 gotta 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

Love to me Maria

They call the wind Maria

Maria, Maria

They call the wind Maria

Maria, Maria

Maria, Maria

Maria
