Thread Name: Origins: They Call the Wind Mariah (Lerner/Loewe)
Subject: RE: Help: Origins of They Call the Wind Maria
In the 1980's, a friend of mine sang a short, no-nonsense version:

Away out West they have a name for wind and rain and fire.
The wind is wind, the rain is rain, and they call the fire - fire.

BTW, in Lerner and Loewe, Loewe was the composer and Lerner the lyricist.
