lyrics

A-way out here they've got 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 and sets the clouds a flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

Maria was my mother's name
The west called Pa here one day
She followed him, then died out here
I grew up knowing his ways

I wash the clothes, the dust whips up
The baby's sick since Sunday
We're short on feed, my man is gone
I'm gonna leave here someday

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

A-way out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Maria

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
Maria
Maria
