Seven Spanish Angels

He looked down into her brown eyes and said, say a prayer for me

She threw her arms around him, whispered, God will keep us free

They could hear the riders coming, he said, This is my last fight

If they take me back to Texas, you won't take me back alive

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun

They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the guns

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared

There was thunder from the throne

And seven Spanish angels took another angel home

She reached down and picked the gun up that lay smokin' in his hand

Whispered, Father, please forgive me, I can't make it without my man

And she knew the gun was empty and she knew she could not win

Her final prayer was answered when the rifles fired again

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun

They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the guns

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared

There was thunder from the throne

And seven Spanish angels took another angel home

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun

They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the guns

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared

There was thunder from the throne

And seven Spanish angels took another angel home

Seven Spanish angels took another angel home
