I was Walkin' the Jericho road And every mile that I traveled And I'm walkin' down the road
But I just kept on down the Jericho road And the sun set red over of gold And I'm walkin' down the Jericho
Well, fit the battle, that's how the story goes The walls a-tumb-a-lin' down I know But I'm walkin', walkin' the Jericho road
I met my mother walkin' down the Jericho Tears in her and her head hung low And she was walkin' the Jericho road
And I met my father down the Jericho road His back over from a heavy load And he was walkin' down the Jericho
I said, "Papa, don't you me? Won't you lay burden down?" He shook his head and me, "Son, you better turn around" He kept on walkin', down the Jericho road
Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, walkin' down the Ooh, walkin' the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' the Jericho road And his were bloody 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 walkin' down the road
She said, "It's just a orphan child I found along the way raise him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday" Kept on walkin', walkin' the Jericho road
I met my (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road) I met my (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I hello sister (Walk, down the Jericho road) I said brother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I hello father (Walk, walkin' down the road) I hello mother (Walk, walkin' down the road)
