Paul Robeson - Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho lyrics

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Good morning sister Mary Good morning brother John Well I wanna stop and talk with you Wanna tell you how I come along I know you've heard about Joshua He was the son of Nun He never stopped his work until Until the work was done God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down You may talk about your men of Gideon You may brag about your men of Saul There's none like good old Joshua At the battle of Jericho Up to the walls of Jericho He marched with spear in hand Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried 'Cause the battle is in my hands God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down You may talk about your men of Gideon You may brag about your king of Saul There none like Joshua At the battle of Jericho They tell me, great God that Joshua's spear Was well nigh twelve feet long And upon his hip was a double edged sword And his mouth was a gospel horn Yet bold and brave he stood Salvation in his hand Go blow them ram horns Joshua cried 'Cause the devil can't do you no harm Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Up to the walls of Jericho He marched with spear in hand Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried 'Cause the battle is in my hands Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow The trumpets began to sound Old Joshua shouted glory And the walls came tumblin' down God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Down, down, down, down, down Tumblin' down
