B.W. STEVENSON- " MY MARIA " (WITH LYRICS)

WENT TO #9 IN 1973. LYRICS: My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

Maria, Maria I love you

My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away

My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you

My Maria
Maria I love you

I thank God I grew up in the 1960's and 70's.

It was a wonderful time to be a kid and early adult.

This song brings back cool memories.

Thank you.

Too be a teenager in the early 70s was one of the coolest things in the world! I know cuz I was there. Thanks for the post!

Ah back when music was good, you could understand the words and they were worth listening to. Thanks for posting

I admit, the first version I heard was Brooks and Dunn. Ronnie Dunn does sound a lot like BW, in my uneducated opinion. However, I hear the original a lot on oldies radio, which prompted me to seek out the original. Regardless of your opinion of Brooks & Dunn, country music in general, or cover versions, it should be an honour to have your song covered by a contemporary country band nearly 10 years after your passing, introducing your song to a new generation.

@56kanaka Yes, How beautiful it is to be young and free. Our times were a little slacky but were peaceful and pleasant .

I remember this song from when I was little.There's this video my Mom took of me sitting on the front steps singing this song word for word. I wasn't born in the 70's, but I sure wish I was. The music then was so much better then it is today.

@EcoPaintSpecialists1 A guy that lived down the street from BW, when they were growing up, said "Chuck" was so calm and reserved, hardly anyone at school knew he played the guitar.

You're being nice saying "others have reproduced it". I'd have to say "others have tried to reproduce it"

When I hear him sing it, then listen to the duo that seems to get all the credit, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" first thought that comes to mind.

I've never heard anything bad about the guy.

I wasn't quite a teenager in the 70s, but I was in elementary school and remember this song well. It played on AM WKTM in Charleston SC all summer long--great memories. Being a kid in the 70's will be the best! Hey, none of us even knew what a car seat was; no one used seat belts either. Me and my sister just bounced around in the back of mom's Olds Cutlass. Thanks for sharing this great video of a timeless classic. Cheers!

Brings back peace of mind.
