歌词
[Verse 1]
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 it takes me back to Texas
They won't take me back alive
[Verse 2]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the Son
They were praying for their lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
[Verse 3]
She reached out and picked the gun up
That laid smoking in his hand
He said, Father, please forgive me
I can't make it without my man
And she knew the gun was empty
And she knew she couldn't win
When her final prayer was answered
And the rifles fired again
[Verse 4]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the Son
They were praying for their lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
[Verse 5]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the Son
They were praying for their lovers
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
