The Kingston Trio
 Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe

 -From their 1959 LP "From the Hungry"
 -From the musical "Paint Your Wagon"


 SLOWLY
 Way out here they have a name for wind and rain and fire
 The rain is Tess , the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Mariah
 Mariah blows the stars around, sets the clouds a'flyin'
 Mariah makes the mountain sound like folks was up there dyin'
 Mariah, (Mariah), Mariah (Mariah), they call the wind Mariah

 SLIGHTLY FASTER
 Before I knew Mariah's name and heard her wail and whinin'
 I had a gal and she had me and the sun was always shinin'
 Then one day I left my gal, I left her far behind me
 And now I'm lost, so gol-durned lost not even-God-can find me
 Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah

 EVEN FASTER
 Out here they have a name for rain wind and fire only
 When you're lost and all alone there ain't no name for lonely
 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
 Mar-i-ah, (Mar-i-ah), MARIAH ! (Mariah), they call the wind Mar-i-ah
 Mar-i-ah, Mariah, Mariah
 They call the wind Mar-i-ah.
