Seven Spanish Angels


He looked down into the brown eyes
And said "Say a prayer for me" 
And 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,
"They 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 Gun 
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 smoking in his hand 
She 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
But 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 Gun 
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)
At the altar of the Sun (oh I believe) 
They were praying for the lovers (yeah they was)
In the Valley of the Gun (well, well, well) 
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared (there was thunder)
There was thunder from the throne (oh yeah) 
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
