Lyrics

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
God knows that

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down



Good morning sister Mary

Good morning brother John

Well I wanna stop and talk with you

Wanna tell you how I come along



I know you've heard about Joshua

He was the son of Nun

He never stopped his work until

Until the work was done



God knows that

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down



You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your men 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 them ram horns, Joshua cried

'Cause the battle is in my hands



God knows that

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down



You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your king of Saul

There none like Joshua

At the battle of Jericho



They tell me, great God that Joshua's spear

Was well nigh twelve feet long

And upon his hip was a double edged sword

And his mouth was a gospel horn



Yet bold and brave he stood

Salvation in his hand

Go blow them ram horns Joshua cried

'Cause the devil can't do you no harm



Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down



Up to the walls of Jericho

He marched with spear in hand

Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried

'Cause the battle is in my hands



Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow

The trumpets began to sound

Old Joshua shouted glory

And the walls came tumblin' down



God knows that

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down



Down, down, down, down, down

Tumblin' down
