Lyrics

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

Say brother love's travellin' salvation show-ow (halle-halle)
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

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

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
