Version 1          Version 2   


* Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down


God knows that
* Repeat


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


God knows that
* Repeat


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


God knows that
* Repeat


You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your king of Saul
There none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho


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


* Repeat


** Repeat


Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted glory
And the walls came tumblin' down


God knows that
* Repeat


** Repeat


Down, down, down, down, down
Tumblin' down
