I Did What I Did For Maria

Sunrise 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 with no fear,

’cause I did what I did for Maria.

As I rode into town with the sun going 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

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 for the end of the street

there was the man I was burning to meet

and my mind was so calm and so clear.

As 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 it 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

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.

Sunrise 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 with no fear,

’cause I did what I did for 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.
