Chorus:
Joshua fit de battle o' Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fit de battle o' Jericho,
an' de walls come tumblin' down.
1.
You may talk about de men o' Gideon.
You may talk about de men o' Saul.
But der's none like good ol' Joshua
at de battle o' Jericho.
2.
Right up to de walls o' Jericho
dey marched wi' spear in han';
"Go blow dem ram horns", Joshua cried,
"cos de battle am in my han'."
3.
Den de lamb, ram, sheep horns began to blow,
an' de trumpets began to sound.
Joshua told dem children to shout, shout, shout!
an' de walls come tumblin' down.
