I was Walkin' down the Jericho And mile that I traveled showed And I'm down the Jericho road
But I just on walkin' down the Jericho road And the sun set red over of gold And I'm walkin' down the Jericho
Well, Joshua fit the battle, that's how the goes The walls a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', down the Jericho road
I met my mother walkin' the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her head low And she was walkin' the Jericho road
And I met my father walkin' down the road His back over from a heavy load And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, don't you me? Won't you lay your down?" He shook his head and told me, "Son, you turn around" He kept on walkin', down the Jericho road
Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, down the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, down the Jericho road And his hands were bloody but his face was And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I met my Walk, walkin' down the Jericho With a baby in her arms I'd never seen She was walkin' the Jericho road
She said, "It's just a little orphan child I 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, 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, down the Jericho road) I said brother (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
I said father (Walk, down the Jericho road) I hello mother (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
