The Kingston Trio
They Call the Wind Maria (Stereo Concert version)
[Verse 1]
Way out here they have a name
Rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe
They call the wind Maria

[Verse 2]
Maria blows the stars around
Sets the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks was out there dyin'

[Chorus]
Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
They call the wind Maria

[Verse 3]
Before I knew Maria's name
And heard her wail and whinin'
I had a gal, and she had me
And the sun was always shinin'

[Verse 4]
But then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so goddam lost
Not even God can find me
[Chorus]
Maria
Maria
Thеy call the wind Maria

[Verse 5]
Out here thеy have a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no name for lonely

[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
Maria (Maria)
Maria
(Maria)
They call the wind Maria

[Chorus]
Maria
Maria
(Maria)
They call the wind Maria
[Outro]
Thank you
