I was Walkin' down the Jericho And every mile that I showed And I'm walkin' down the road
But I just on walkin' down the Jericho road And the sun set red fields of gold And I'm walkin' the Jericho road
Well, fit the battle, that's how the story goes The walls come a-tumb-a-lin' down I But I'm walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
I met my mother walkin' down the Jericho Tears in her eyes and her hung low And she was walkin' down the road
And I met my father walkin' down the Jericho His back bent over from a load And he was down the Jericho road
I said, "Papa, don't you me? Won't you lay burden down?" He his head and told me, "Son, you better turn around" He kept on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho
Ooh, down the Jericho Ooh, walkin' the Jericho Ooh, down the Jericho, ooh, ooh
I met my Walk, walkin' down the Jericho And his hands were bloody but his face was And he was walkin' the Jericho road
I met my Walk, walkin' down the road a baby in her arms that 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" on walkin', walkin' down the Jericho 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 met my (Walk, walkin' down the road)
I said hello (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I said brother (Walk, down the Jericho road)
I said father (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road) I said hello (Walk, walkin' the Jericho road)
