Lyrics:Edward Setser/Troy Seals Music:Edward Setser/Troy Seals | |
He looked down into her blue 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 a-live. | |
CHORUS A: | |
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 a-nother | |
angel home. | |
VERSE 2: | |
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 2: (1/2 step higher): **REPEAT ONCE | |
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 a-nother | |
angel home. |
