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 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   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      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   Seven Spanish Angels   Took another Angel home      All right, y'all help me now      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
