Seven Spanish Angels
(RIV 660) Dan Nordbye
OPENER
Grand Square
He looked down into her brown eyes
Said, "Say a prayer for me"
She threw her arms around him,
Whispered "God will keep us free"
Allemande and Weave
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!"
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru, go 4 now
DoSaDo the corner there
Swing Thru tonight, Boy Run Right
Bend The Line and then go Right & Left Thru
Pass the Ocean and now Recycle
Swing the Corner lady there and Promenade
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand
Said, "Father, please forgive me...
I can't make it without my man!"
Allemande and Weave
She knew the gun was empty
She knew she could not win
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again
CLOSER
Grand Square
There were seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the valley of the gun
Allemande and Weave
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
TAG
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
