VERSE ONE:

 

He looked down into her brown eyes And said "say a prayer for me" She threw her arms around him and 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

 

CHORUS:

 

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

 

INSTRUMENTALLY...

 

VERSE TWO:

 

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

 

CHORUS:REPEAT TWICE

 

And seven spanish angels Took another... angel home
