Well Joshua lived a long time ago (yes he did)
He knocked down the walls of Jericho (yes he did)
But he didn't have any dynamite (no no, no no)
Or a bulldozer to help his fight (no no, no no)
He had trumpets made from the horns of sheep (yes he did)
And all of his people gathered about (yes he did)
But Jericho laughed and thought he failed (oh no, Jericho)
But my friends listen to the tale:
Oh Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came a tumbling down
You may talk about your kinds of gideon
You may talk about your men of saul
But there's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho (here we go now)
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came a tumbling down
Right up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with a spear in his hand
Go blow that ram horn Joshua cried
Cause the battle is in my hands (here we go)
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came a tumbling down
Then the lam ram sheep horns begam to blow
And the trumpets began to sound
Joshua commaded the people to SHOUT!
And the walls came a tumbling down, Oh
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came a tumbling down
Oh Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came a tumbling down
And the walls came a tumbling down
And the walls came a tumbling... down!
