He looked down into her brown eyes, 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.""
And there were seven Spanish Angels, at the alter of the Sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
And 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.
Said, ""Father please forgive meI can't make it without my man""
She knew the gun was empty
She knew she couldn't win
Her final prayer was answered
As the rifles fired again
And 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
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
Yeah, seven Spanish angels took another angel home
