I was Walkin' the Jericho road And mile that I traveled showed And I'm walkin' the Jericho road
But I just on walkin' Walkin' down the Jericho And the sun set red fields of gold And I'm down the Jericho road
Well, fit the battle, that's how the story goes The walls a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', down the Jericho road
I met my mother down the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' down the road
And I met my father walkin' down the Jericho His back over from a heavy load And he was down the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, don't you me? Won't you lay your down?" He shook his and told me, "Son, you better turn around" He kept on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, down the Jericho road And his were bloody but his face was clean And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I met my Walk, walkin' the Jericho road With a baby in her arms I'd never seen She was walkin' the Jericho road
She said, "It's just a orphan child I found along the way raise him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday" Kept on walkin', walkin' the Jericho road
I met my (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road) I said brother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road) I hello mother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
