- They Call the Wind Mariah is a song written by Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe for the 1951 musical Paint Your Wagon:
Way out west, they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe,
And they call the wind Mariah
O no, Mariah blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a-flying
Mariah makes the mountain sounds
Like folks were up there dying
Mariah, They call the wind Mariah
Now before I knew Mariah's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
O, 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
Mariah, O, Mariah, They call the wind Mariah
I hear they got a name for rain
and 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
Mariah, blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me
Mariah, O, Mariah
I’m lonely can’t you see
Mariah, O, Mariah
Please blow my love to me
Mariah, blow my love to me
