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