Peggy Lee - Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show lyrics

Hot August night and the leaves hangin' 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
Sit's 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 Travellin' 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
Startin' 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 Travellin' Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'cause everyone knows Brother Love's show

Halleluia halle halle-luia
Halle halle-luia

Take my hand in yours walk with me this day
In my heart I know I will never stray

Love, Brother Love
Say Brother Love's Travellin' Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes

I said Love, Brother Love
Say Brother Love's Travellin' Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
