Seven Spanish Angels

Eddie Setser / Troy Seals

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, 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 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 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
When the rifles fired again

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
