But I kept on walkin' Walkin' the Jericho road And the sun set red over fields of And I'm walkin' down the road
Well, Joshua fit the battle, that's how the story The walls come a-tumb-a-lin' I know But I'm walkin', walkin' down the road
I met my mother down the Jericho road in her eyes and her head hung low And she was walkin' the Jericho road
And I met my father down the Jericho road His back bent over a heavy load And he was walkin' the Jericho road

I met my Walk, down the Jericho road With a baby in her that I'd never seen She was walkin' down the Jericho
She said, "It's just a little orphan I found along the way I'll raise him as my own and forgive us all someday" Kept on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
