I Did What I Did For Maria Lyrics - Singles - Paper Lace

Sunrise, this is the last thing that I'll ever see 

Out in the courtyard they're ready for me 

But I go to the Lord with no fear 

'Cos I did what I did for Maria 

As I rode into town with the sun coming 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 

For 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 burning to meet 

And my mind was so calm and so clear 

And I took my revenge for Maria 

And he fell to the ground 

Raising dust all around 

But I knew he was dead long before he went down 

It was quick and 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 

For somebody must die for the death of my wife 

Yes I did what I did for Maria 

I did what I did for Maria 

Sunrise, this is the last thing that I'll ever see 

Out in the courtyard they're ready for me 

But I go to the Lord with no fear 

'Cos I did what I did for Maria 

Maria, Maria 

I did what I did for Maria 

Maria, Maria 

I did what I did for Maria 

Take an eye for an eye 

And a life for a life 

For somebody must die for the death of my wife 

Yes I did what I did for Maria 

I did what I did for Maria 

Maria, Maria 

I did what I did for Maria 

Maria, Maria 

I did what I did for Maria
