She threw her arms around him whispered God will keep us fGree
They could see the riders coming He said This is my last fiCght
If they take me back to TeGxas They won't taDke me back alGive
Chorus: D
There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun
They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gGun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the thCrone
And seven Spanish anGgels Took anoDther angel hGome
Verse 2:
She reached down and picked the gun up That lay smoking in his hDand
She said Father please forgive me I can't make it without my mGan
And she knew the gun was empty And she knew she could not wCin
But her final prayer was anGswered When the riDfles fired agGain
Chorus D
There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun
They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gGun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the thrCone
And seven Spanish anGgels Took anoDther angel hGome
