Way 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’ flying,
Maria makes the mountains sound, 
Like folks was out there dying.

Maria, Maria,
They call the wind Maria.

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 gol’ darn lost, 
Not even god can find me.

Out here they have a name for rain, 
And 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,
They call the wind Maria.
