Blow Gabriel Blow lyrics

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 skank
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.

(Verse)
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 perched 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!

(Refrain)

(Verse)

(Refrain)
