The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra — Someone Stole Gabriels Horn

> Stop this meetin', gather round Put those horns down on the ground Quiet down now, shut off them bells! Who's got that horn of Gabriel's? Now Gabriel is mighty sore 'Cause he can't blow his horn no more! He's gotta have a horn to play To make us awaken on the Judgment Day! You'll be comin', you'll be goin' You'll be waitin' for that blowin But you'll all be left on Judgment Day 'Cause someone stole Gabriel's horn! You'll be weepin', you'll be gnashin' You'll be fightin', you'll be clashin' When the Lord steps down in front to say "Someone stole Gabriel's horn!" Oh-oh-oh, Gabriel took so long to learn it Oh-oh-oh, won't the finder please rerun it! You'll he hoppin' like a pigeon You'll be shoutin' sweet religion But you'll all be left on Judgment Day Someone stole Gabriel's horn! -(Instrumental Break)- Now I can't tell when you all play I'll have to find some other way; If I heard that horn I'd know the tone Let's try each one of you alone -(misc. instruments solo)- Now if Gabe heard that, and I'm sure he did He's gonna be glad his horn was hid He's gettin' old and his eyes are dim So he'll probably hire you to play for him! << English Brunswick 1386 Recorded 14 September 1932, New York
