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

-From their 1959 LP "From the Hungry"

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? 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.
