Written by Neil Diamond
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
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain&#8217;t no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It&#8217;s Love
Brother Love&#8217;s Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
