Norman and Nancy Blake have a great song called "Angel Gabriel" on their CD "The Hobo's Last Ride." And if anyone knows the missing word below, please post it ! Angel Gabriel Norman Blake Oh my soul, my soul is a'goin' for to rest, In the arms of the Angel Gabriel And I'll climb on a hill and I'll look through the mist And I'll cross over Jordan to the Lamb And I'll sit me down in the old armchair, And brothers, I will never tire, And old Satan may sneeze, But I will take my ease, And I'll warm myself at the holy fire CHORUS: I will shout, I will dance, and I'll wake up early in the morn And I will arise as I rub my sleepy eyes, When old Gabriel's blowing on the horn x2 Oh my soul, my soul is a 'goin' for to rest Oh a rest as sure as I am born And I'll look like a blackbird sitting on a nest When old Gabriel is blowin' on the horn And I'll leave my clothes set upon the shore For I'll have heavenly garments to wear And I'll have plenty of shoes and I'll never get the blues And the angels will come and curl my hair CHORUS Oh I shan't weep when I'm a 'goin' to leave So I'll pack up my trunk and I'll go And my brother old ___ (?) don't you ever grieve For I'm going up to glory very slow. And I'll eat my meals there three times a day You can bet your life I won't be late And I'll have lots of fun when you would rather come For I'm going to take tickets at the gate CHORUS
