I was Walkin' down the Jericho And mile that I traveled showed And I'm walkin' the Jericho road
But I just kept on Walkin' down the road And the sun set red fields of gold And I'm down the Jericho road
Well, Joshua fit the battle, how the story goes The come a-tumb-a-lin' down 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' down the road
And I met my walkin' down the Jericho road His back over from a heavy load And he was down the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, you know me? you lay your burden down?" He shook his head and told me, "Son, you better around" He kept on walkin', down the Jericho road
Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, down 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, down the Jericho road With a baby in her arms I'd never seen She was down 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, walkin' the Jericho road)
I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said sister (Walk, walkin' down the road) I said hello (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
I hello father (Walk, walkin' down the road) I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road)
