Spoken:
Do you hear that playin?
Yes, I hear that playin'!
Do you know who's playin?
No, who is that playin'?
Sung:
Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin',
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
'Will you be ready to go when I blow my horn?' Oh....
Blow Gabriel, Blow,
Go 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!
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'
And now I'm ready to fly,
Yes to fly higher and higher!
'Cause I've gone 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 and blow, Gabriel, blow!
I want to join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land,
So blow, Gabriel, blow!
