They Call the Wind Maria Ed Ames

[Verse 1]
A way out here, they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe
And they call the wind Maria

[Verse 2]
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flying
Maria makes the mountain sound
Like folks were up there dying

[Chorus]
Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria)
They call the wind Maria (Maria)

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
But then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so God damn lost
Not even God can find me
