I Did What I Did for Maria

                                  Sun rise this is the last day 

that I'll ever see 

out in the court-yard 

they're ready for me 

but I go to my Lord without fear 

'cos I did what I did for Maria. 



As I rode into town 

with the sun going down 

all the windows were barred 

there was noone 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 

and 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 form 

the end of the street 

there was the man 

I was burnin' to meet 

and my mind was so calm and so clear. 

as I took my revenge for Maria. 



And he fell to the ground 

raisin' dust all around 

but I knew he was dead 

long before he went down 

it was quick it was clean 

made it easy on him 

which is more than he did for Maria. 

When he did what he did for Maria.
