Kingston Trio They Call The Wind Mariah Lyrics

(Alan J. Lerner/Frederick Loewe)

Away out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire. The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe. They call the wind Mariah.
Mariah blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flyin'.
Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'.
Mariah. (Mariah). Mariah. (Mariah). They call the wind Mariah.

Before I knew Mariah's name and heard her wail and whinin', I had a gal. 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 gol' darn lost not even God can find me.
Mariah. (Mariah). Mariah (Mariah). They call the wind Mariah.

Out here they have a name for rain and wind and fire only.
When you're lost and all alone, there ain't no name for lonely.
And I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me.
Mariah blow my love to me. I need my gal beside me.
Mariah. (Mariah). They call the wind Mariah. Mariah! Mariah (Mariah). They call the wind Mariah.
