(They Call The Wind) Mariah RIV 506
Bob Baier

OPENER / BREAK / CLOSER

Heads face, Grand Square
Oh, way out here they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Jo,
And they call the wind Mariah
Allemande Left and Weave
Mariah blows the stars around, and sends the clouds a-flyin'
Oh, Mariah makes the mountain sound like folks were up there dyin'

Break Lyrics

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah
Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind

...
Before I knew Mariah's name, and heard her wail and whinin'
I had a girl, and she had me, and the sun was always shinin'

Closer lyrics

[Same as break]
...
Oh, way out here, they've got a name, for rain and fire only
Oh, Mariah blow my love to me, I need my girl...

FIGURE

Head Couples Promenade, halfway go 'round
Down the middle, Pass the Ocean...Extend
Hinge a quarter, Scoot Back and then
Boy Run around a girl, Star Thru my friend
Pass to the Center, Square Thru, it's three quarters 'round
Swing your Corner, Promenade her
Oh, Mariah blow my love to me, I need my girl beside me

TAG

Allemande Left and Swing her
Mariah, Mariah, and they call the wind Mariah
