Mariah blows the stars around and sets the clouds a'flying.

Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks are up there dying.

CHORUS:

[Em]     [Bm]
Mariah!  Mariah!

     [C]      [D7] [G]
They call the wind Mariah.

Before I knew Mariah's name, or heard her wail and whining,
I had a gal and she had me, and the sun was always shining.
And then one day I left my gal; I left her far behind me.
And now I'm lost, I'm so darn lost, not even God can find me.

CHORUS:
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 name for lonely.
Well 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.

CHORUS:
Mariah!  Mariah!
They call the wind Mariah.
