They Call the Wind Maria Rufus Smith

[STEVE, spoken]
Yeah, Jake, play somethin'
Let's hear somethin' besides the wind blowin' through them dang hills

[STEVE]
Away out here they 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 sends the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there 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 goldarn lost
Not even God can find me
