Seven Spanish Angels Lyrics - Ray Charles

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 

Seven Spanish Angels 

Took another Angel home 

All right, y'all help me now 

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
