Sam Cooke - Swing Low

They Call the Wind Maria

Way out west, they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's joe and
They call the wind Marīa

Oh no, Marīa blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flying
Marīa makes the mountain sounds
Like folks were up there dying
Marīa, Marīa, they call the wind Marīa

Now before I knew Marīa's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
Oh, but then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, I'm oh so lost
Not even God can find me
Marīa, oh, Marīa, they call the wind Marīa

I hear they got a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no words but lonely
And I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Marīa, blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me

Mmh, Marīa, ohh, Marīa
I'm lonely can't you see
Mmh, Marīa, ohh, Marīa
Please blow my love to me
Marīa, blow my love to me
