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
