Lyrics:
Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho
Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down.
Talk about your kings of Gideon,
Talk about your men of Saul
But none like good old Joshua
And the battle of Jericho.
Right up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand,
“Go blow that ram horn,“ Joshua cried,
“Cause the battle am in my hand.“
Then the lamb-ram sheep horns begin to blow
And the trumpet begins to sound.
Joshua commanded the children to shout!
And the walls come a tumbalin’ down.
