Blow, Gabriel, Blow

Once I was headed for hell
And play all day in the promised land
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
So I said, "Satan, farewell"
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp

And now I'm all ready to fly
And I've been through the fire
And I purged my soul
Once I was headed for hell
When I blow my horn?"
Well it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'
Stand up on your lazy feet and sing
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'

So blow Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow
I was low Gabriel, low
So I said, "Satan, farewell"
So blow Gabriel, blow
Oh I was low Gabriel, low
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And play all day in the promised land
Once I was headed for hell
I want to join your happy band
Do you know who's playin'?
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow
And I've been through the fire

I want to join your happy band
You're all too full of expensive dinners

Go on and blow Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow Gabriel, blow

Once I was headed for hell
So blow Gabriel, blow
But now since I have seen the light

And my heart too
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp

So blow Gabriel, blow
And I purged my soul
And my heart too
I'm good by day and I'm good by night

Mighty low Gabriel, low
But now since I have seen the light
And now I'm all ready to fly
So climb up the mountaintop
Oh blow Gabriel, blow
'Cause I've gone through brimstone

I'm good by day and I'm good by night
"Will you be ready to go

But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more
No, who is that playin'?

I heard you blowin' on your horn once more
Get up you scamps, get up you sinners
And start to blow Gabriel, blow
But when I got to Satan's door
Yes, to fly higher and higher
Yes, to fly higher and higher
Mighty low Gabriel, low
So climb up the mountain top
And start to blow Gabriel, blow
Blow Gabriel, blow
So blow Gabriel, blow
