Gabriel - Joe South

One fine mornin' when the sun is still in Pisces

Foot on the land and the other foot out on the high seas

My old friend Gabriel stands

With a smile on his face and a horn in his hand

And he looks as if he wants to play me a tune

And if the time is right

My soul’s gonna take its flight

And the sun will be my shadow at high noon

Oh, yeah

Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Hey, hey

Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Though I got nothin' more to say

Nobody’s list’nin' anyway

Just a little more time to get my people together

Alright

Wait a minute

Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Blow your horn

I’ve been expectin' you

I know you got a gig to do

But give me just a little more time to get my people together

Little more time

Woo, yeah

Preachers shout while sinners sin and old ladies cry

Fightin' causes, wavin' flags and God knows why

Turnin' water into wine

And they throw your pearls before the swine

And yet you trust them not to bust your balloon

So let me skip a page

And wake up in the new age

And the sun will be my shadow at high noon

Oh, Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Hey, hey, hey, hey Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Now, now, now

Crowd is runnin' wild

And I feel like a motherless child

But give me just a little more time to get my people together

Sounds perfectly bluesy

One more time

Gabriel, Gabriel

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

Gabriel, you say it (Gabriel)

Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

And you know where I’ll be

At the corner of Fourteenth and Peachtree

Just a little more time to get my people together

Alright

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

My, my, my, my, my

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Gabriel

Yes

Yes, yes

Get my people together

One more time

Get my people together

Alright

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

One more time to get my people together
