Seven Spanish Angels - Amos Lee

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

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

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

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
