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.
