Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hot August night and the leaves hangin' down
And the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
[Verse 2]
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Tellin' you and me
[Verse 3]
It's love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Halle-halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Startin' soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
[Verse 6]
It's love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Halle-halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes, 'cause everyone knows
'Bout Brother Love's show
[Verse 7]
(Hallelujah) Brothers?
(Halle-hallelujah) I say, Brothers
(Hallelujah) Now you got yourself two good hands
(Halle-hallelujah) And when your brother is trouble
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 trouble
You gotta reach out your other hand
(Hallelujah) Reach it out to the Man up there
(Halle-hallelujah) 'Cause that's what He is there for
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Halle-halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
[Verse 10]
I say, Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Halle-halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
[Verse 11]
Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show (Halle-halle)
