Hot August night and the leaves hangin' down

And the grass on the ground smellin' - sweet

Move up the road to the outside o' town

And the sound o' that good gospel beat

Sits a ragged tent, where there ain't no trees

And that gospel group, tellin' you and me

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

Startin' soft and slow-ow, like a small earthquake

And when he lets go-o, half the valley shakes



It's Love, Brother Love

Say Brother Love's Travellin' Salvation Show (halle-halle)

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 got to 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 got to reach out your other hand (hallelujah)

Reach it out to the man up there

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



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 Travellin' Salvation Show

Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies, an
