They Call the Wind Maria P.J. Proby

Maria
Maria
They call the wind Maria

Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe
And they call the wind Maria

Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds flying
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying

Maria
Maria
They call the wind Maria

Before I knew Maria's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining

But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gone and lost
Not even God can find me
