Seven Spanish Angels

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", he 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.

Chorus:
There were Seven Spanish Angels at the Altar of the Sun
They were prayin' for the lovers, at the Altar 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.

Chorus.

Chorus with Ray.
