joshua went to battle that's how the story goes
E C
and the walls came tumblin' down i know

i met my mamma walkin' down jericho road
tears in eyes and her head hung low
and she's walkin' down jericho road
i met my papa walkin' down jericho road
back bent low from a heavy load
and he's walkin' down jericho road

i met my brother walkin' down jericho road
his hands were bloody but face was clean
and he's walkin' down jericho road
i met my sister walkin' down jericho road
a baby in her arms i had never seen
and they're walkin' down jericho road
G
she said its just and orphan child
D

E C
