Seven Spanish Angels Songtext
von Willie Nelson feat. 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 coming
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 (ooh)
There was thunder from the throne (ooh)
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 rifle 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 (ooh)
There was thunder from the throne (ooh)
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 (ooh)
There was thunder from the throne (ooh)
Seven Spanish angels took another angel home

Alright, Charles help me now
There were seven Spanish angels (at the altar) 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) there was thunder from the throne (oh yeah)
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home
