Now 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 star around
and sets the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
like folks was out there dyin'
Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
Before I knew Maria's name
and heard her wail and whinin'
I had a gal and she had me
and the sun was always shinin'
But then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so goldurned lost
not even God can find me
Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
