I was down the Jericho road And mile that I traveled showed And I'm walkin' down the Jericho
But I just on walkin' Walkin' down the Jericho And the sun set red over of gold And I'm down the Jericho road
Well, fit the battle, that's how the story goes The come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', down the Jericho road
I met my mother walkin' down the Jericho Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' down the Jericho
And I met my father down 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 shook his and told me, "Son, you better turn around" He kept on walkin', walkin' down the road
Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, down the Jericho road And his hands were bloody but his was clean And he was walkin' down the road
I met my Walk, walkin' down the Jericho With a in her arms that I'd never seen She was walkin' down the Jericho
She said, "It's just a little orphan child I found the way I'll raise him as my own and 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 sister (Walk, down the Jericho road) I hello brother (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road) I said hello (Walk, down the Jericho road)
