Blow, Gabriel, Blow lyrics

Song by Jonathan Pryce, Kevin Kline, Cast and Chorus

Do you hear that playing?
Yes we hear the playing,
Do you know who's plying?
No, who is that playing?
Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playing,
Gabriel Gabriel saying,
"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"
Now your all ready to fly
Yes to fly higher and higher and higher
Cause' you got through the brimstone,
And you've been through the fire
And you purged your soul, and your heart too
So climb up the mountain top and start to
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Go on and Blow, Gabriel, Blow
I was enjoying your happy band,
That played all day in the promised land
So Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
I want to join your happy band,
To play all day in the promised land
So Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow,
Blow, Gabriel, Blow
Blow, Gabriel, Blow
Blow, Gabriel, Blow!
