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 comin'
he said
"This is my last fight
You can take me back
to Texas
you won't take me
back alive"
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
She reached down
and picked the gun up
that lay smokin'
in his hand
Whispered
"Father please
forgive me
I can't make it
without my man"
And she knew the gun
was empty
and she knew
she could not win
Her final prayer
was answered
when the rifles
fired again
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
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
Seven Spanish Angels
took another
angel home
