[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

[Verse 1]
Good morning, brother pilgrim
Pray, tell me where you're bound
Traveling this wilderness
To that enchanted ground

[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

[Verse 2]
My name, it is Poor Pilgrim
And to Canaan I am bound
Traveling this wilderness
To that enchanted ground

[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

[Verse 3]
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may talk about your men of Saul
There's none like grand old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

[Verse 4]
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with a spear in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns," Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle am in my hand"

[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

[Verse 5]
Then the lamb, ram, sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets begin to sound
Joshua commanded the children to shout
And the walls came tumbling down

[Chorus]
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down
