They Call The Wind Maria (Merlin)

This song was written by Lerner and Loewe for their 1951 Broadway musical, “Paint Your Wagon”. It quickly became a hit and during the Korean War was often listened to by troops who missed the women they had left behind. During the Folk Revival, it was covered by The Kingston Trio and many others. In the 1969 film, “Paint Your Wagon” it was sung by Harve Presnell.
