Away out here they got a name for rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Mariah

Mariah blows the stars around and sends the clouds a-flyin'
Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks were up there dyin'

Mariah

Away out here they got a name for rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Mariah

Mariah blows the stars around and sends the clouds a-flyin'
Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks were up there dyin'

Mariah

Mariah, they call the wind Mariah

Before I knew Mariah'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 gol' darn lost, not even God can find me

Mariah, oh, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah

Out here they got a name for rain and 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
Mariah blow my love to me, I need my girl beside me

Mariah, oh, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah

Mariah, oh, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah
