paroles de chanson They Call the Wind Maria - The Kingston Trio

Away out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe, and they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'

Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
They call the wind Maria

Before I knew Maria's name and heard her wail and whinin'
I had a gal, and she had me, and the sun was always shinin'
But then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol' darn lost
Not even God can find me

Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
They call the wind Maria

Out here they got a name for rain and wind and fire only
And when you're lost and all alone, there ain't no name for lonely
Now I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me
Maria blow my love to me, I need my gal beside me

Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
They call the wind Maria

Maria
Maria (Maria)
They call the wind Maria

We'd like to pick things up a little bit now, and
We got one more good Christmas song for you
Then we're, uh, gonna take a short break
Learn some more Christmas songs
Come back and do the second half
People say to us, uh, well, where do you live?
We've already told you that Paul lives in New York City
He also owns a home in Seattle, Washington
Rick lives in San Francisco Bay area
They're wild about that
Bill lives in Phoenix, I live in Las Vegas
And they say, well, do you rehearse?
Normally we say, well, when you've sung a song 33 thousand times, you
You don't think that much about rehearsing it
But I gotta tell you, yesterday was a whole lotta fun for us
Because new Christmas music, and uh
We were afraid that we might disturb some people in the hotel
So we were whispering as we sang
Not a really effective way to rehearse
This next song is one of those
You probably know more about this one than I do, coming from England
Well that is, that is true
This is the Gloucestershire Wassail
Been to Gloucestershire? No?
Ah, well, the reason being, when George replaced me 30 years ago
I went to England and spent 20 years in England
I won't say on what charges, but
Had a lovely time, and I lived in Gloucestershire
Where there were several different versions of the Gloucestershire Wassail Song
Most of which I'd heard
Except for he Kingston Trio version
Which is the one we're going to do
All the good spirit and wishes are there
And it brings back the taste of a lovely
British Christmas by the fire
Faggots and peas, and
Ale
Those are little sticks that you use for kindling, by the way
We are gonna sing this one song and we're gonna take a short break
And some people came up to us just prior to the show, and said
Y'all gonna have any records for sale?
First of all, for any young people in the audience
A record
People say "I lost all o'mine in the divorce"
That's the standard by which we judge
I'm on my third set of records
I'm not proud of it
I'm not gonna get married again, I'm just gonna find somebody I hate
Buy her a big house and a car
Hell, I'll marry ya for that
Not again!
I don't care if it is legal
I don't think we can postpone this any longer
No, no, no
