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 see 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
SOLO

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
When she aimed at one of them
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 guns
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven spanish angels
Took another angel home
And seven spanish angels
Took another angel home
