I was Walkin' down the road And every mile that I showed And I'm walkin' down the Jericho
But I just kept on 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 walls come a-tumb-a-lin' down I But I'm walkin', down the Jericho road
I met my walkin' down the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' down the Jericho
And I met my father walkin' down the Jericho His back bent over a heavy load And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, you know me? Won't you lay burden down?" He shook his head and told me, "Son, you turn around" He kept on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, down the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' the Jericho road And his hands bloody but his face was clean And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I met my Walk, down the Jericho road With a baby in her arms that I'd never She was walkin' down the road
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', down 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 met my (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I said sister (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I said hello (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I said father (Walk, walkin' down the road) I hello mother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
