Gabriel

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Gabriel, Gabriel
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn, hey, hey
Gabriel, Gabriel
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn

[Post-Chorus]
Though I got nothin' more to say
Nobody's list'nin' anyway
Just a little more time to get my people together, alright

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Gabriel (Gabriel), Gabriel (Gabriel)
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn
Hey, hey, hey, hey Gabriel (Gabriel), Gabriel (Gabriel)
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn, now, now, now

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Gabriel (Gabriel), Gabriel (Gabriel)
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn
Gabriel (Gabriel), you say it (Gabriel)
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn, alright

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Outro]
My, my, my, my, my
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Gabriel
Yes
Yes, yes
(Get my people together)
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
One more time
Get my people together
Alright
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
One more time to get my people together (yeah, yeah)
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
