Seven Spanish Angels (With Ray Charles)

Lyrics

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"
 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 alive"
 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
 Alright ya'all help me now
 There were seven Spanish angels
 At the Altar of the Sun (Oh I believe)
 They were prayin' for the lovers (Yeah they was)
 In the Valley of the Gun (Well, well, well)
 When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
 There was thunder from the throne (Oh, yeah)
 And seven Spanish Angels
 Took another angel home
