Seven Spanish Angels Lyrics

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
they won't take me back alive

There were Seven Spanish angels
at the alter 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
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 alter 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
