Well, you know how we got rid of slavery,
don't you? Wasn't one person,
it wasn't two.
Took a whole lot of people
all working together,
just like that old song, you know?
Joshua telling how if you want to break down
those walls of Jericho,
everybody has to blow the trumpet
the exact same time.
You know it, sing it along with me.
Joshua came to Jericho,
Took his horn and gave a blow,
Said that city had to go,
That's the end of Jericho now.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls come a -tumblin' down.
That morning, Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls come
a -tumblin' down.
Now up to those walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand,
Go below those ram horns,
Joshua cried, or the battle is in my hand.
That morning Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
and the walls come a -tumblin'.
That morning Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
and the walls come a -tumblin' down.
Then the lamb run,
sheep horns began to blow,
and the trumpets began to sound.
Old Joshua commanded
the children to shout,
the walls come a -tumblin' down.
That mornin' Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
the walls come a -tumblin' down
That mornin' Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
the walls come a -tumblin' down
Now there's no man like Joshua,
no man like Saul
No man like Joshua
at the Battle of Jericho
That mornin' Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
It's called the Battle of Jericho,
and the walls come a -tumblin'
One more time now!
It's called the Battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho!
It's called the Battle of Jericho,
and the walls come a -tumblin' down!
