Brother Loves Travelling Salvation Show Songtext
von Neil Diamond

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 (part of the party)
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 (part of the party)
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

Love, Brother Love say (halle, halle)
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show (halle, halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies (halle, halle)
And everyone goes


I say love, Brother Love say (halle, halle)
Brother Love′s Travelling Salvation Show (halle, halle)
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes

Love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
