They Call the Wind Maria Away out here they have a name For wind and rain and fire The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe And they call the wind Maria Maria, Maria, They call the wind Maria Maria blows the stars around Sets the clouds a flying Maria makes the mountains sound Like folks were out there dying 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 But then one day I left my gal I left her far behind me And now I'm lost, so Goddarn lost Not even God may find me Now 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 Out here they have a name For wind and fire only But when you're lost and all alone There ain't no name for lonely from "Paint Your Wagon" SOF
