Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show Lyrics By Neil Diamond

    hot august night
    and the leaves hanging 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
    sits a ragged tent
    where there ain’t no trees
    and that gospel group tellin’ you and me

    it’s love brother love say
    brother love’s traveling salvation show
    pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
    and ev’ryone 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
    ev’ry 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 traveling salvation show
    pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
    and ev’ryone goes ’cause everyone knows
    ’bout brother love’s show

    spoken sermon
    brothers
    i said brothers
    now you got yourself two good hands
    and when your brother is troubled you gotta reach out your one hand for him
    cause thats what its there for
    and when your heart is troubled you gotta reach out your other hand
    reach it out to the man up there
    cause thats what he is 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 halle

    it’s love brother love say
    brother love’s traveling salvation show
    pack up the babies
    and grab the old ladies and ev’ryone goes
    i say love brother love say
    brother love’s traveling salvation show
    pack up the babies
    and grab the old ladies and ev’ryone goes

    love brother love say
    brother love’s traveling salvation show
