… 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

Pack up the babies

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
… Love, Brother Love say
