Well, I’ve never been to heaven but I’ve been told, hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel, the gates are made of pearl and the streets are made of gold, Hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
Chorus: Oh hand me down, oh hand me down://
Oh hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel,
Send it down, Hand it down, any ole way just get it down,
Hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
2. We’ll if the river was a dragon that we could hop in - hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel,
In summer it would grow, in winter turn thin - hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
3. Well, if people knew that paradise was easy to find - hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel, they’d flock to Moonee Beach any ole time - hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
