They Call the Wind Maria (From the Album From the Hungry I) - The Kingston Trio

Way out west, they got a name

For rain and wind and fire

The rain is Tess, the fire’s joe and

They call the wind Mariah

O no, Mariah blows the stars around

And sends the clouds a-flying

Mariah makes the mountain sounds

Like folks were up there dying

Mariah, They call the wind Mariah

Now before I knew Mariahs name

And heard her wail and whining

I had a girl and she had me

And the sun was always shining

O, but then one day I left my girl

I left her far behind me

And now I’m lost, I’m oh so lost

Not even God can find me

Mariah, O, Mariah, They call the wind Mariah

I hear they got a name for rain

And wind and fire only

But when you’re lost and all alone

There ain’t no words but lonely

And I’m a lost and lonely man

Without a star to guide me

Mariah, blow your love to me

I need my girl beside me

He, Mariah, O, Mariah

I’m lonely can’t you see

Mariah, O, Mariah

Please blow my love to me

Mariah, blow my love to me
