Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
The Golden Gate Quartet Lyrics

Joshua fit de battle of Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

Jericho, Jericho.
The battle was in the city of Jericho

Joshua fit de battle of Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

And the walls come tumblin' down.
And the walls of Jericho fell

Good Morning Sister Mary,
Greetings to Sister Mary

Good morning Brother Joe.
Greetings to Brother Joe

Gonna tell you 'bout old Joshua
I'll tell you about Joshua

And the battle of Jericho.
And the battle he fought in Jericho

You can talk about your king of Gideon.
You can speak of the King of Gideon

You can brag about your man of Saul,
You can boast about the man of Saul

But there's none like good old Joshua
But there is no one like good old Joshua

For to make those old walls fall.
To make those old walls of Jericho fall

They tell me that the spear of Joshua
I have heard that Joshua's spear

Was well nigh twelve foot long
Was almost twelve feet long

And upon his hip was the doubvle-edged sword
And he carried a double-edged sword on his hip

And the man was gospel born.
And he was born into the gospel

Up to the walls of Jericho
Approaching the walls of Jericho

He marched with spear in hand.
He marched with his spear in hand

"Go blow dem ram's horns loud and clear
"Blow those ram's horns loudly and clearly

For the battle am in my hand."
Because the battle is in my control."

Then the ram-sheep's horns began to blow,
Then the horns of the rams began to blow

So loudly did they sound.
And they sounded very loudly

Then all God's children shouted out
Then all of God's children shouted

And the walls come a-tumblin' down.
And the walls of Jericho fell down
