Tony Christie Lyrics
"I Did What I Did For Maria"

Sunrise this is the last day that i ll ever see out in the court yard there
ready for me but i go to my lord with no fear cos i did what i did for
maria.

As i road in to 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 revenging my heart for maria my dearest departing
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 did
for maria

Laughter echoed across from the end of the street there was the man
i was burning to meet but my mind was so calm and so clear as i
took my revenge for maria and he fell to the ground raising dust all around
but i know he was dead long before he went down it was quick it was
clean made it easy on him which is more when he did for maria
when he did what he did for maria.
