He looked down into her brown eyes
And said, a prayer for me
She threw her arms around him
And whispered, God will keep us free
They could hear the riders coming
He said, this is my last fight
You can take me back to Texas,
but you won't take me back alive
There were seven Spanish angels
at the altar of the sun
They were praying 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 an other angel home
She reached down and picked the gun up
It lay smokin' in his hand
Whispered, Father, please forgive me
I can't make it without my man
And she knew the gun was empty
And she knew she could not win
The final prayer was answered
when the rifles fired again
They were sendin' 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 an other angel on
There were seven Spanish angels
at the altar
They were prayin' for the lovers
in the valley of the gull
When the battle stopped
and the smoke cleared
There was powder on the floor
And seven Spanish angels
took an other angel on
Seven Spanish angels
took an other angel home
