Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

Hot August night

And the leaves hanging down

And the grass on the ground smelling sweet

Move up the road

To the outside of town

And the sound of that good gospel beat

Sits a ragged tent

Where there ain't no trees

And that gospel group

Telling you and me

It's love, Brother Love say

Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

Pack up the babies

And grab the old ladies

And everyone goes

'Cause everyone knows

Brother Love's show

Room gets suddenly still

And when you'd almost bet

You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in

Eyes black as coal

And when he lifts his face

Every ear in the place is on him

Starting soft and slow

Like a small earthquake

And when he lets go

Half the valley shakes

It's love, Brother Love say

Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

Pack up the babies

And grab the old ladies

And everyone goes

'Cause everyone knows

'Bout Brother Love's show

Hallelujah, brothers

Halle-hallelujah

I said brothers

(Hallelujah) Now you got yourself two good hands

(Halle-hallelujah) And when your brother is troubled,

You gotta reach out your one hand for him

(Hallelujah) 'Cause that's what it's there for

(Halle-hallelujah) And when your heart is troubled,

You gotta reach out your other hand

(Hallelujah) Reach it out to the man up there

(Halle-hallelujah) 'Cause that's what he's there for

Take my hand in yours

Walk with me this day

In my heart I know

I will never stray

Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

Love, Brother Love say

Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
