I was Walkin' down the Jericho And every that I traveled showed And I'm walkin' the Jericho road
But I just kept on Walkin' down the Jericho And the sun set red fields of gold And I'm walkin' down the 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 and her head hung low And she was walkin' down the road
And I met my father walkin' down the Jericho His back bent over from a heavy And he was down the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, you know me? Won't you lay burden down?" He shook his head and me, "Son, you better turn around" He on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho road
Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, down the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' down the Jericho And his hands were bloody but his was clean And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I met my Walk, down the Jericho road With a in her arms that 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, walkin' the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road) I hello brother (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said father (Walk, walkin' down the road) I said mother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
