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 Miriah
Miriah blows the stars around,
Sets the clouds a`flyin`
Miriah makes the mountain sound
Like folks was up there dyin`
Miriah, Miriah
They call the wind Miriah.
Before I knew Miriah`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
Miriah, Miriah
They call the wind Miriah.
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
Miriah, blow my love to me,
I need my gal beside me
Miriah, Miriah
They call the wind Miriah.
Mairiah, Miriah
They call the wind Miriah.
