Seven Spanish Angels

[Verse 1]
He looked down into her brown eyes
"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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand
Said, "Father, please forgive me
I can't make it without my man"
She knew the gun was empty
She knew she couldn't win
Her final prayers were answered
As the rifles fired again

[Chorus]
And 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
The 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 Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another Angel home
Yeah, seven Spanish angels
Took another Angel home
