Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

(álbum: Mama Was A Rock And Roll Singer, Papa Used To Write All Her Songs - 1973)

[Sonny Talking]
Now gather around folks
I heard you say
You wanted a pick me up
That wouldn't let you down
You looking for a cure
It's got to be sure
It's got to be pure
Got to relieve your sore bones
Your aching toes and your runny nose
You got to have the one and only
Genuine, superfy "Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
Buy some, try some
And you know what folks
You're gonna buy some
Now I say it's true
Now it's up to you
Whatcha gonna do
"Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
I'm gonna fix you up quick, sir
"Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
It ain't no where we can't fix, sir
Best relief and it taste good too
You know what
The stuff is really good for you

Hot August night and the leaves hanging 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
Stands a raged tent, where there aint no trees
And that gospel group, telling you and me

[Chorus:]
It's love, brother love
Say brother loves traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
Cause everyone goes
Cause everyone knows, brother loves show

The room gets suddenly still and you could almost bet
You can hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal and when he lifts his face
Every eye in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow, like a small earth quake
And then he lets it go, the whole valley shakes

[Chorus]

[Sonny talking]
Now step right up
And don't be shy
You can tell by my face
I'm a nice guy
How much does this cost, this stuff
Well lady what's in your purse
Is good enough

Hallelujah, hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah

[Chorus x2]

Hallelujah, hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah
