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

'Cause 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

'Cause 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
