THEY CALL THE WIND MARIA

from "Paint Your Wagon"



Away out here they have a name

For wind and rain and fire

The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe

And they call the wind Maria



Maria, Maria, They call the wind Maria



Maria blows the stars around

Sets the clouds a flying

Maria makes the mountains sound

Like folks were out there dying



Before I knew Maria's name

And heard her wail and whining

I had a gal and she had me

And the sun was always shining

But then one day I left my gal

I left her far behind me

And now I'm lost, so Goddarn lost

Not even God may find me



Now I'm a lost and lonely man

Without a star to guide me

Maria, blow my love to me

I need my gal beside me



Out here they have a name

For wind and fire only

But when you're lost and all alone

There ain't no name for lonely
