They Call The Wind Maria 1951 'Paint Your Wago'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Oct 2003

Away out there they got a name
for wind and rain and fire.
The rain is Tess,
the fire is Joe,
and they call the wind Maria.
Maria blows the stars around,
and sends the clouds aflyin'.
Maria makes the mountain sound
like folks up there were dyin'.
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria!

Before I knew Maria's name
and heard her wail and whinin'.
I had a girl,
and she had me,
and the sun was always shinin'.
But then one day I left my girl,
I left her far behind me.
And now I'm lost, so goldurn lost,
not even God can find me.
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria!

Out here they 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."
And I'm a lost and lonely man,
without a star to guide me.
Maria, blow my love to me;
I need my girl beside me.
Maria! Maria!
They call the wind Maria!

Maria! Maria!
Blow my love to me!
