Tony Christie - 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 for the end of the street 
There was the man I was burning to meet 
And 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 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
