Refrain: Joshua fit de battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho; Joshua fit de battle of Jericho, An’ de walls come tumblin’ down.
1 You may talk about the man of Gideon, You may talk about the man of Saul; Dere’s none like the good ole Joshua, An’ de battle of Jericho. [Refrain]
2 Up to the walls of Jericho, He marched with spear in hand; “Go blow dem ram horns,” Joshua cried, “for the battle am in my hand.” Oh [Refrain]
