|
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 with no 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 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. |
