Blow, Gabriel, Blow

There's a good lesson for you sinners
Search your hearts, sign off with Satan and tune in with Heaven
Where will you stand on the Day of Glory?

Do you hear that playin'?
Yes, we hear that playin'
Do you know who's playin'?
No, who is that playin'?

Well, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"

Blow, Gabriel, blow
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow

Oh, I was low, Gabriel, low
Mighty low, Gabriel, low
But now that I've 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
Yes, to fly higher and higher
'Cause I've gone through brimstone, and I've been through the fire
And I purged my soul and my heart too
So climb up the mountain top and start to-

Blow, Gabriel, blow
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I wanna join your happy band
Play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel, blow

Get up, you scamps, get up, you sinners
You're all too full of expensive dinners
Stand up on your feet and sing

Blow, Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel)
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel)
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm willin' to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow

I was 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"

Satan, you stay away from me
'Cause you ain't the man I wanna see
I'm gonna be good as the day I was born
'Cause I heard that man on the horn, do ya hear 'im? (Yeah)

Gabe, Gabriel, blow
Gabe, Gabriel, blow
Gabe, Gabriel, blow
Gabe, Gabriel, blow
Gabe, Gabriel, blow, blow, blow, blow!

Blow that horn! (Gabriel)
Blow that horn! (Gabriel)
Blow that horn! (Gabriel)
Blow that horn! (Gabriel)
Blow that horn! (Gabriel)
Blow, blow, blow, blow!
Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel

Blow, Gabe!
Blow, Gabe!
Blow! Blow! Oh

Blow, Gabriel, blow
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I wanna join your happy band
Play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow!
