Blow, Gabriel, Blow

Cole Porter

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 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 to brimstone and I've been through the fire
And I've purged my soul and my heart too
So climb up to the mountain top

And start to blow, Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel, blow)
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow (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!

Come on and 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 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! Gabriel, blow!
Gabriel, blow, blow, blow that horn!
Blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow!

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

Come on and blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow, blow, blow that horn!
I want to join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel! Blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow! (Blow that horn!)
Gabriel, blow!
