I Did What I Did for Maria

Sun bright this is the last one that I’ll ever see

Out in the court yard they’re waitin’ for me but I go to my death 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

With my hand on my gun they all knew I had come

With 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 pay 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 a man I was burning to meet

And my mind was so calm and so clear as I took my revenge for Maria

There was dust all around as he fell to the ground

But I knew he was dead long before he went down

It was quick it was clean

Made it easy on him

Which was 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 pay for the death of my wife

Yes I did what I did for Maria

I did what I did for Maria

Maria

Maria
