Lyrics: Traditional.
Tune: Traditional.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
You may talk about your king of Gideon.
You may talk about your man of Saul.
There’s none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.
Up to the walls of Jericho,
He marched with spear in hand.
“Go blow that ram’s horn,” Joshua cried,
“‘Cause the battle is in my hand.”
Then the lamb-ram-sheep horns begin to blow;
Trumpets begin to sound.
Joshua commanded the chillun to shout,
And the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
“Good morning, brother pilgrim,
Pray, tell me, where you’re bound.
Tell me where you’re travelin’ to
On this enchanted ground.”
“My name, it is Poor Pilgrim.
To Canaan, I am bound,
Travelin’ through this wilderness
On-a this enchanted ground.”
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come a-tumblin’ down.
