[Verse 1]
A way out here, they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe
And they call the wind Maria

[Verse 2]
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flying
Maria makes the mountain sound
Like folks were up there dying

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

[Verse 3]
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

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

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

[Verse 6]
And 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

[Outro]
Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria)
Blow my love to me
Maria
Maria
Maria
