Sides face grand square
A way out here they have a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe
And now they call the wind Maria
Four ladies chain straight across that ring
You chain the ladies home
And promenade her
Maria blow your love to me and I need my girl beside me

*** This figure does not work - dancers are out of sequence ***
*** The sequence works (and probably times out) if you remove the first RLT ***

The heads (sides) promenade go half around that ring
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
You square thru and run four hands around that ring
When you meet your corner lady you right & left thru
You veer to the left, the couples circulate
Half tag, scoot back you swing and promenade her
Maria blow my love to me and
Now they call the wind Maria

Four ladies chain you turn that girl and then
You turn and chain that lady right back home
You join hands and circle round you know
Do an allemande left and you weave the ring
You wind it in and out until you meet my girl
Swing that lady there and promenade her
Maria blow my love to me and
Now they call the wind Maria

Four ladies chain you turn 'em with an arm around
You turn and chain that lady right back home
You join hands and circle round you know
Do an allemande left and you weave the ring
You wind it in and out until you meet my girl
Swing that lady there and promenade her
Maria blow you love to me and
Now they call the wind...

Sides face grand square
Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria
