I was Walkin' the Jericho road And every that I traveled showed And I'm walkin' down the road
But I kept on walkin' down the Jericho road And the sun set red over of gold And I'm down the Jericho road
Well, Joshua fit the battle, that's how the goes The come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
I met my mother walkin' the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' down the Jericho
And I met my father walkin' the Jericho road His back bent over a heavy load And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I said, "Papa, don't you me? Won't you lay your down?" He his head and told me, "Son, you better turn around" He kept on walkin', down the Jericho road
Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' the Jericho road And his hands were bloody but his face was And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I met my Walk, walkin' down the Jericho With a baby in her arms that I'd seen She was down the Jericho road
She said, "It's just a orphan child I found along the way I'll him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday" on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho road
I met my (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road) I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said sister (Walk, down the Jericho road) I said brother (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said father (Walk, down the Jericho road) I said hello (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
