Lyrics:

Away out here, they have a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is 'Tess', the fire's 'Joe'
And they call the wind 'Maria'

Maria blows the stars around
Sets the clouds a flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks was out there dyin'

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

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'

But then one day, I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol' darn lost
Not even God can find me

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

Out here, they have a name
For rain, the wind and fire only
When you're lost and all alone
There ain't no name for lonely

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

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
