Seven Spanish Angels

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 coming
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 praying for their loves
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stops and the smoke fell
There was thunder from the drum
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home

She reached down and picked a 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 praying for their loves
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stops and the smoke fell
There was thunder from the drum
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home

There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the sun
They were praying for their loves
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stops and the smoke fell
There was thunder from the drum
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home

And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
