I Did What I Did For Maria Lyrics - Singles - Tony Christie

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 

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 from 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 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 

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
