THE BATTLE OF JERICHO

Traditional; Arrangement by Moses Hogan

Josua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
And the walls come tumbalin' down.

Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho.
Take about your kings of Gideon,
Go, you can talk about your men of Saul,
Go on, yes you can talk about him,
But none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.

That morning,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
And the walls come tumbalin' down.

Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle, the battle of Jericho.
Right up to the walls of Jericho,
He marched with spear in hand,
Blow that horn, Joshua,
"Go, Blow that ram-horn", Joshua cried,
"Cause the battle am in my hand."
God almighty,
Then the lamp, ram, sheep, horns begin to blow,
And the trumpet begins to sound.
Joshua commanded the children to shout!
And the walls come tumbalin' down.

Oh Lord, you know that
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
The walls come a-tumbalin' down.

Oh Lord, you know that
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
Joshua fit the battle, yes, the battle of Jericho.
The walls come tumbalin' down.
