Blow, Gabriel, Blow

Yes, to fly higher and higher
So climb up the mountaintop
And I purged my soul
Well it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'
And now I'm all ready to fly
Get up you scamps, get up you sinners

Stand up on your lazy feet and sing
So blow Gabriel, blow
Oh blow Gabriel, blow
And I purged my soul

Once I was headed for hell
Oh I was low Gabriel, low
"Will you be ready to go

So climb up the mountain top
No, who is that playin'?
I'm good by day and I'm good by night
So I said, "Satan, farewell"
I was low Gabriel, low
Once I was headed for hell
Do you know who's playin'?
When I blow my horn?"
But now since I have seen the light
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And play all day in the promised land
Mighty low Gabriel, low

So blow Gabriel, blow
Yes, to fly higher and higher
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
And start to blow Gabriel, blow
And my heart too
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow
So blow Gabriel, blow
I want to join your happy band
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow

Blow Gabriel, blow
I'm good by day and I'm good by night

Go on and blow Gabriel, blow

But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp
So blow Gabriel, blow
And start to blow Gabriel, blow
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more
Once I was headed for hell
Once I was headed for hell
I want to join your happy band

But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp

You're all too full of expensive dinners
And now I'm all ready to fly
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
And I've been through the fire
So blow Gabriel, blow
And my heart too
And I've been through the fire
And play all day in the promised land
But when I got to Satan's door
'Cause I've gone through brimstone

So I said, "Satan, farewell"
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow
But now since I have seen the light
Mighty low Gabriel, low
But when I got to Satan's door
