Anything Goes – Blow, Gabriel, Blow lyrics

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 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

Get up 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
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 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, blow
