I Did What I Did For Maria lyrics
by Tony Christie
Sun rise this is the last daythat I'll ever seeout in the court-yardthey're ready for mebut I go to my Lord with no fear'cos I did what I did for Maria.As I rode into townwith the sun going downall the windows were barredthere was no-one aroundfor they knew that I'd comewith my hand on my gunand revenge in my heart for Mariamy dearest departed Maria.Take an eye for an eyeand a life for a lifeand somebody must diefor the death of my wifeyes I did what I did for MariaI did what I did for Maria.Laughter echoed across fromthe end of the streetthere was the manI was burnin' to meetand my mind was so calm and so clear.as I took my revenge for Maria.And he fell to the groundraisin' dust all aroundbut I knew he was deadlong before he went downit was quick it was cleanmade it easy on himwhich is more than he did for Maria.When he did what he did to Maria.Take an eye for an eyeand a life for a lifeand somebody must diefor the death of my wifeyes I did what I did for MariaI did what I did for Maria.
