{title:They Call the Wind Mariah}
{st:Lerner and Loewe}
W[C]ay out west they h[Am]ave a name for r[C]ain and wind and f[Am]ire;
The r[C]ain is Tess, the f[Am]ire s Joe, and they c[F]all the w[G7]ind Ma[C]riah.
Ma[C]riah blows the s[Am]tars around and s[C]ets the clouds a-fl[Am]yin ;
Ma[C]riah makes the mou[Am]ntains sound like f[F]olks [G7]up there were [C]dyin .
M[Am]aria, Ma[Em]riah,
They c[F]all the w[G7]ind Ma[C]riah.
Before I knew Mariah s name, or heard her wail and whinin ,
I had a gal and she had me, and the sun was always shinin .
And then one day I left that gal, I left her far behind me,
And now I m lost, I m so darn lost, not even God can find me.
Mariah, Mariah,
They call the wind Mariah.
Way out west they have a name for rain and fire only,
And when you re lost and all alone, there ain t no word for lonely.
Well I m a lost and lonely man, without a star to guide me,
Mariah blow my love to me, I need a gal beside me.
Mariah, Mariah,
They call the wind Mariah.
