| Brothers and sisters, we are here tonight to fight the devil…
|
| 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?»
|
| 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!
|
| Oh, 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 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 mountaintop
|
| And start to blow, Gabriel, blow
|
| Come on and 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!
|
| Blow, Gabriel, blow, (Blow, Gabriel!)
|
| Go 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, (Low, Gabriel!)
|
| Mighty low, Gabriel, low.
|
| But now since that 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,
|
| 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 mountaintop
|
| 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!
|
| Go on and…
|
| Blow, Gabriel, blow
|
| Blow, Gabriel, blow
|
| Blow, Gabriel, blow
|
| I wanna join your happy band
|
| And play all day in the Promised Land,
|
| So blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow! |
