Nope, the back of my (double-tape) copy of PAINT YOUR WAGON says:

"PAINT YOUR WAGON is punctuated with a classic Lerner and Lowe musical
score, including "They Call The Wind Maria" and "I Talk to the Trees."  It
*is* pronounced Ma RI ah.

The bad part of it is that it's a musical and neither Eastwood nor Martin
can sing.
