I Did What I Did For Maria

Sunrise, this is the last thing that I'll ever see Out in the courtyard they're ready for me But I go to the Lord with no fear 'Cos I did what I did for Maria As I rode into town with the sun coming down All the windows were barred, there was no-one around For they knew that I'd come with my hand on my gun And revenge in my heart for Maria My dearest departed Maria Take an eye for an eye And a life for a life For somebody must die for the death of my wife Yes I did what I did for Maria I did what I did for Maria Laughter echoed across from the end of the street There was the man I was burning to meet And my mind was so calm and so clear And I took my revenge for Maria And he fell to the ground Raising dust all around But I knew he was dead long before he went down It was quick and was clean, made it easy on him Which is more than he did for Maria When he did what he did to Maria Take an eye for an eye And a life for a life For somebody must die for the death of my wife Yes I did what I did for Maria I did what I did for Maria Sunrise, this is the last thing that I'll ever see Out in the courtyard they're ready for me But I go to the Lord with no fear 'Cos I did what I did for Maria Maria, Maria I did what I did for Maria Maria, Maria I did what I did for Maria Take an eye for an eye And a life for a life For somebody must die for the death of my wife Yes I did what I did for Maria I did what I did for Maria Maria, Maria I did what I did for Maria Maria, Maria I did what I did for Maria
