I was Walkin' the Jericho road And every mile I traveled showed And I'm down the Jericho road
But I just on walkin' down the Jericho road And the sun set red fields of gold And I'm down the Jericho road
Well, Joshua fit the battle, that's how the story The come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', walkin' the Jericho road
I met my mother down the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' the Jericho road
And I met my father walkin' the Jericho road His bent over from a heavy load And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I said, "Papa, you know me? you lay your burden down?" He shook his and told me, "Son, you better turn around" He on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho road
Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' down the road And his hands were but his face was clean And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I met my Walk, walkin' down the road With a baby in her arms I'd never seen She was down the Jericho road
She said, "It's just a little orphan child I along the way I'll raise him as my own and forgive us all someday" Kept on walkin', walkin' down the road
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' down the road)
I said sister (Walk, down the Jericho road) I said hello (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said father (Walk, down the Jericho road) I hello mother (Walk, walkin' down the road)
