Cole Porter
Blow, Gabriel, Blow
[RENO, spoken]
Brothers and sisters, we are here tonight, to fight the Devil

[RENO]
Do you hear that playin'?

[COMPANY, spoken]
Yes, I hear that playin'

[RENO]
Do you know who's playin'?

[COMPANY, spoken]
No, who is that playin'?

[RENO]
Why, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'
Gabriel, Gabriel sayin'
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"

[RENO]
Oh, blow, Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I've been a sinner, I've been a scam
But now I'm willing 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 blowing on your horn once more
So I said "Satan, farеwell"

And now I'm all ready to fly
Yes, to fly highеr and higher
'Cause I've gone through brimstone and I've through the fire
And I've purged my soul, and my heart too
So climb up the mountain top

[RENO, (COMPANY)]
And start to blow, (blow) Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel)
Go on and blow, (blow) Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel)
I want to join your happy band
And play all day in the promised land
So, blow, Gabriel, blow

[RENO, spoken]
Come on, you scamps
Get up, you sinners
You're all too full of expensive dinners
Stand up on your lazy feet and sing!
[RENO, RENO & COMPANY, (COMPANY)]
Blow, Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow (Hallelujah!)
I've been a sinner, I've been a scam
But now I'm willing 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

[Instrumental]

[RENO, RENO & COMPANY]
Once I was headed for hell
Once I was headed for hell
But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowing 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 through the fire
And I've purged my soul, and my heart too
So climb up the mountain top
And 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

[Instrumental]

[RENO, RENO & COMPANY, (COMPANY)]
Come on and blow, (blow!, Gabriel, blow!, Gabriel, blow!, Gabriel) Gabriel, blow (blow, Gabriel)
I wanna join your happy band
And play all day in the promised land
So, blow

Blow (Blow!)

(Blow) Blow, Gabriel

Blow, (Blow)
