They Call the Wind Maria

Pictures from Auburn Center Meshoppen PA
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 a'flyin'
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 whinin'
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shinin'

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

Maria
Maria
They call the wind Maria

Out here they got a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no word but lonely

And I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me

Maria
Maria
They call the wind Maria

Maria
Maria!
Blow my love to me

Thank you so much! This video with nature brought tears to my eyes. The visual images flowed with the song. THANKS ~ Just a product of 1952.

The Doug Anthony All Stars Version:

Way down south,

They have a name,

For wind, and rain, and fire.

The fire's "Joe",

The rain is "Bess",

And the call the wind...

"The Wind".

*smiles sweetly*

Wow...lol I had to listen to this song. my mom sorta named me after it since my grandmother is half native american and 'they called the wind mariah'. it's not that bad of a song, also awesome video.

@Smiley1draws4life FAIL! "Maria" can be pronounced as both (mah REE ah) and (mar EYE ah), and back in the period the movie is set in (Gold Rush) it was commonly pronounced (mar EYE ah) among people of British descent. You can take up the spelling of Mariah Carey's name with her parents.

I used to listen to the music of Paint your Wagon together with my dad. I remember him having the music. My dad is gone for almost twenty years, but the memory is still there. Thanks so much.
