They Call The Wind Maria Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

Away out here they've got a name 

For wind and rain and fire 

The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe 

And they call the wind Maria 

Maria flows the stars around 

Since the clouds are flying 

Maria makes the mountains sound 

Like folks were out there dying 

Maria, Maria 

They call the wind Maria 

Before I knew Maria's name 

Heard her wails and whining 

I had a girl and she had me 

And the sun was always shining 

And then one day I left my girl 

Left her far behind me 

Now I'm so lost, so dark, no, lost 

Not even God can find me 

Maria, Maria 

They call the wind Maria 

Out here they've got a name for rain 

Wind and fire only 

But when you're lost and all alone 

There ain't no name for lonely 

Now I'm a lost and lonely man 

Without the stars to guide me 

Maria blowed her love to me 

I need her here beside me 

Maria, Maria 

They call the wind Maria
