Seven Spanish Angels

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
 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
