Lyrics

Seven Spanish Angels
Words and Music by by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser

She looked down into
His brown eyes
Say a prayer for me
She threw her arms around him
Whispered God will keep us free

They could hear
The riders
Coming
He said
This is my last fight
Cause if they take me back to Texas
No they 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 angles
No they
They took another angel home

Well, she reached down and picked the gun up
That lay
Smoking 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
And her final prayers were answered
When the rifle
They fired again

There were seven Spanish angels
At the alter of the sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the valley of the gun

When the battle stopped
And the smoked cleared
There was thunder from the throne and
Seven Spanish angels
They
They took another angel home

Seven Spanish angels
At the alter of the sun
Praying for the lovers
In the valley of the gun

When the battle stopped
And the smoked cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
They
They took another angel home
