Seven Spanish Angels

He looked down into her brown eyes, said, "Say a prayer for me"

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

And they could hear the riders comin'

He said, "This is my last fight.

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

And there were seven Spanish Angels, at the alter of the Sun

They were prayin' for the lovers

In the valley of the gun

And 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.

Said, "Father please forgive meI can't make it without my man"

She knew the gun was empty

She knew she couldn't win

Her final prayer was answered

As the rifles fired again

 

And there were seven Spanish Angels, at the alter of the Sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers

In the valley of the gun

When the battle stopped

And the smoke cleared

There was thunder from the throne

Seven Spanish angels

Took another angel home

There were seven Spanish Angels

At the alter of the Sun

They were prayin' for the 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

 

Yeah, seven Spanish angels took another angel home
