I was Walkin' down the road And every mile I traveled showed And I'm walkin' down the road
But I just on walkin' down the Jericho road And the sun set red over of gold And I'm walkin' down the Jericho
Well, Joshua fit the battle, that's how the goes The come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
I met my walkin' down the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her head low And she was walkin' the Jericho road
And I met my father walkin' down the Jericho His back over from a heavy load And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, you know me? Won't you lay your down?" He shook his head and told me, "Son, you turn around" He on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho road
Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' the Jericho road And his hands bloody but his face was clean And he was down the Jericho road
I met my Walk, walkin' down the road With a baby in her that I'd never seen She was walkin' down the road
She said, "It's a little orphan child I found along the way I'll him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday" Kept on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road) I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road) I met my (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
I said sister (Walk, down the Jericho road) I said brother (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
I hello father (Walk, walkin' down the road) I hello mother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
