Lyrics

(E7)Hot

gets Au gust ly night, and the leaves hang ing down and the grass on the ground smell in’ sweet.

(E7)Move

up the road to the out side of town and the sound of that good gos pel beat.

Sits a rag ged tent

where there ain’t no trees,

and that gos pel group

tell in’ you and me: It’s (A)Love, Broth er Love, say, Broth er Love’s Trav el ing Sal va tion Show.

(Hal le...

hal le...) (A)Pack up the ba bies and grab the old la dies, and ev ’ry one goes ’cause (A)ev ’ry one knows

Broth er Love’s (E)show.

(E7)Room

gets sud den ly still, and when you’d al most bet you could hear your self sweat, he walks in.

(E7)Eyes

black as coal, and when he lifts his face, ev ’ry ear in the place is on him.

Start ing soft and slow

like a small earth quake,

and when he lets go,

half the val ley shakes.

It’s (A)Love, Broth er Love, say, Broth er Love’s Trav el ing Sal va tion Show.

(Hal le...

hal le...) (A)Pack up the ba bies and grab the old la dies, and ev ’ry one goes ’cause (A)ev ’ry one knows

Broth er Love’s (E)show.

Broth er Love’s (E7)show.

(Hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le...

hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le...

hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le...

hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le...

hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le lu jah!)

(Hal le...

hal le lu jah!)

Take my hand in yours,

walk with me this day.

In my heart I know,

I will nev ver stray.

Hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

hal le...

(A)Broth er Love’s (E)show.

(A)A (E)men.
