Jericho Road

I was walkin'

Walkin' down the Jericho road

And every mile that I traveled showed

And I'm walkin' down the Jericho road

I just kept on walkin'

Walkin' down the Jericho road

And the sun set red over fields of gold

And I'm walkin' down the Jericho road

Well Joshua fit the battle that's how the story goes

And the walls come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know

But I'm still walkin'

Walkin' down the Jericho road

I met my mother walkin' down the Jericho road

Tears in her eyes and her head hung low

And she was walkin' down the Jericho road

I met my father walkin' down the Jericho road

His back bent over from a heavy load

And he was walkin'down the Jericho road

I said papa don't you know me Won't you lay your burden down

He just shook his head and told me son you better turn around

And he kept on walkin'

Walkin' down the Jericho road

I met my brother walkin' down the Jericho road

And his hands were bloody but his face was clean

And he was walkin' down the Jericho road

I met my sister walkin' down the Jericho road

With a babe in her arms that I'd never seen

And she was walkin' down the Jericho road

She said it's just a little orphan child I found along the way

I'll raise him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday

And she kept on walkin'

Walkin' down the Jericho road

I met my mother

I met my father

I met my brother

I met my sister
