Blow Gabriel Blow - Ethel Merman

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 lamp1

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 cited for hell

Once I was headed foe 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 and higher!

'Cause I’ve gone through that brimstone and fire;

And I’ve purged my soul and my heart too

So climb up to the mountain top;

So 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!

And now I’m all ready to fly

Yes, to fly higher and higher and higher!

'Cause I’ve gone through that brimstone and fire;

And I’ve purged my soul and my heart too

So climb up to the mountain top;

So 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!
