I Did What I Did For Maria

verse 1 Sun rise, this is the last day that I'll ever see Out in the courtyard they're ready for me But I go to my Lord with no fear 'Cause I did what I did for Maria verse 2 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 verse 3 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 As I took my revenge for Maria verse 4 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 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 Repeat verse 1 Sun rise, this is the last day that I'll ever see Out in the courtyard 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 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 Repeat Chorus to fade
