Seven Spanish Angels (with 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

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
