[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 that’s what it’s there for
And when your heart is troubled, you gotta reach out your other hand
Reach it out to the man up there
‘Cause that’s what He is there for

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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...

[Outro]
Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show

It's a great live version. I don't know much what the lyrics mean, but I thought they're religious.

5 stars.

[Rekko]

It's a very good song but the instruments should be louder.

41 points -> 4 stars

[sjh88]

I bet the compilation is in Spotify, it would be best to find it from there.

This album?

No. It doesn't appear straight with the words "Neil Diamond The Essential" and there are too many albums so it's very hard to find it from the list.

It looks like it is a rare bonus track why it doesn't appear anywhere.

Maybe then you should listen and rate the studio version? Sorry for this!

It's not the same, to me it sounded that the studio version is about ½ stars weaker than the live bonus track on the compilation.

So, can you tell us which version we should listen to?

It doesn't matter that much to me anyway. Maybe it would be the best to listen to the version that was released the closest to the live bonus track on the compilation. Maybe a live version is closer to the real thing than the studio version.

[Rekko]

Perhaps this version could be close enough.

I listened to this version when I rated it.

[BiteUrLip]

I want to say sorry for the confusing choice. I thought that as the track appeared on a compilation, it could be found easily. It looks like my version was some kind of a limited edition which was not released widely,

[sjh88]

Its not my type and its somehow little weird song to me. I dont know is he serious or no.
