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"
