Seven Spanish Angels Lyrics

[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"
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"

[Chorus]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar 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

[Verse 2]
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
As the rifles fired again

[Chorus]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar 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

[Chorus]
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the sun
And 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
And the seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
