Joshua fit the battle of Jericho ! Jericho ! Jericho !
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down !
Refrain alti et hommes :
... Jericho ! Jericho ! Jericho !
... Jericho ! ... walls came tumbling down !
1. Good morning sister Mary ! Good morning brother John !
Well I wanna stop and talk with you, wanna tell you how I come along
I know you've heard about Joshua : he was the son of Nun,
He never stopped his work until, until the work was done
2. You may talk about your men of Gideon, you may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua, at the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho, he marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried, "cause the battle is in my hands !"
3. Up to the walls of Jericho, he marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried, "cause the battle is in my hands !"
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow, the trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted glory and the walls came tumbling down !
4. They tell me, Great God, that Joshua's spear was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword, and his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet bold and brave he stood, salvation in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried, "cause the devil can't do you no harm"
Accompagnement des couplets (dames et hommes) :
Jericho ! Walls of Jericho ! Walls of Jericho ! At the battle of Jericho !
Jericho ! Walls of Jericho ! Walls of Jericho ! At the battle of Jericho !
