Seven Spanish Angels

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 altar 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 altar 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

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar 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

Alright John help me now

There were seven Spanish angels at the altarof 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
