Sam Cooke - They Call The Wind Maria (From Paint Your Wagon) Lyrics
Maria, MariaThey call the wind MariaWay out here they got a nameFor rain and wind and fireThe rain is Tess, the fire's JoeAnd they call the wind MariaMaria blows the stars aroundAnd sends the clouds a-flyin'Miriam makes the mountain soundLike folks were up there dyin'Maria, MariaThey call the wind MariaBefore I knew Maria's nameAnd heard her wail and whinin'I had a gal and she had meAnd the sun was always shinin'Then one day I left my girlI left her far behind meAnd now I'm lost so cold and lostNot even God can find meMaria, MariaThey call the wind MariaOut here they got a nameFor rain, for wind and fire onlyBut when you're lost and all aloneThere ain't no word but lonelyAnd I'm a lost and lonely manWithout a star to guide meMiriam, blow my love to meI need my girl beside meMaria, MariaThey call the wind MariaMaria, MariaLove, my love, pull me
