Blow Gabriel Blow

Brothers and sisters, we are here tonight to fight the devil

Do you hear that playin'?

Yes I hear that playin'

Do you know who's playin'?

No who is that playin'?

Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'

Gabriel, Gabriel saying

Will you be ready to go when I blow my horn?

(Refrain)

Oh blow, Gabriel blow

Go an' blow, Gabriel blow

I've been a sinner', I've been a scamp

And now I'm willin' to trim my lamp

So blow, Gabriel blow

I've been low, Gabriel low

Mighty low, Gabriel low

But now since I have seen the light

I'm good by day and I'm good by night

So blow, Gabriel blow

Once I was headed for hell

Once I was headed for hell

But when I got to Satan's door

I heard you blowin' on your horn once more

So I said "Satan, farewell."

And now I'm all ready to fly

Just to fly higher and higher

'cause I've been through brimstone

And I've been through the fire

And I've purged my soul

And my heart too

So climb up the mountain top and start to

Blow, Gabriel blow

Go on an' blow, Gabriel blow

I want to join your happy band

And play all day in the promised land

So blow, Gabriel blow

Come on you scamps, get up you sinners

You're all too full of expensive dinners

Stand up on your lazy feet and sing!
