Cole Porter - Blow Gabriel Blow lyrics
Your rating:
From the musical "Anything Goes" Transcribed by Randy Goldberg, NYMC '97 (spoken) There's a good lesson for ya, sinners! Search your hearts! Sign off with Satan and tune in with heaven! Where will you stand on the day of glory? Do you hear that playin'? (Yes, we hear that playin'.) Do you know who's playin'? (No, who is that playin'?) (sung) Well, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'! Gabriel, Gabriel sayin' "Will you be ready to go When I blow my horn?" Blow, Gabriel, blow, Come 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 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 Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow I wanna join your happy band Play all day in the Promised Land So blow, Gabriel, blow! Get up you scamps, get up you sinners! Get up on your feet and SING! Blow, Gabriel, blow, (Blow, Gabriel!) Come 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. Oh, I was low, Gabriel, low, (Low, Gabriel!) Mighty low, Gabriel, low. But now 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." Satan, you stay away from me, 'Cause you ain't the man I wanna see! I'm gonna be good as the day I was born 'Cause I heard that man on the horn; Do ya hear 'im?!? Blow, Gabe, Gabriel! Blow, Gabe, Gabriel! Blow, Gabe, Gabriel! Blow, Gabe, Gabriel! Blow, Gabe, Gabriel! Blow, blow, blow, blow! Blow that horn, Gabriel! Blow that horn, Gabriel! Blow that horn, Gabriel! Blow that horn, Gabriel! Blow that horn, Gabriel! Blow, blow, blow, blow! Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel! Blow, Gabe! Blow, Gabe! Blow! Blow! Oh.... Blow, Gabriel, blow Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow I wanna join your happy band Play all day in the Promised Land So blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow, Gabriel, blow
