Joshua put a battle and jerry cot!
[C] [F]
And the walls come tumbling down
Joshua put a battle and jerry cot!
[C] [F]
And the walls come tumbling [F] down
Good morning Sister Mary!
GoodmorningBother [C] John!
[F] I want to stop and talk with you,
Tell you how I've come along
I know you heard about Joshua, he was a son of [C] none
He [F] never stopped his work [Bb] until, until [D] the work was done
Got no [F] time, Joshua put the battle around Jericho
[C] Around Jericho, [F] around Jericho
Joshua put the battle around Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men [C] of Saul
[F] There's no one like good old Joshua
At the Battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with [C] spear in hand
[F] Don't be alarmed, my Reverend
That [Bb] Joshua cried, cause the [F] battle was in my hand
Got no time, Joshua put the battle around Jericho
[C] Around Jericho, [F] around Jericho
Joshua put the battle around Jericho
And the [D] walls came tumbling down
You may [F] talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your [C] men of Saul
[F] There's no one like good old Joshua
At the Battle of Jericho
They tell my great God that Joshua's spear was weapon
Not to [C] have belonged
[F] And upon his hip was a double-edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel [Bb] horn
Yet bold and brave, he stood salvation [G] in his hand
[F] Don't behold them around, Joshua cried
Cause the devil came, do you know, home?
Got no time, Joshua put the battle around Jericho
[C] Jericho, [F] around Jericho
Joshua put the battle around Jericho
And the [C] walls come tumbling down
[F] And up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with [C] spear in hand
[F] Don't behold them around, Joshua cried
Cause the battle was in my hand
Then the lamb-round sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began [C] to sound
[F] Old Joshua shouted, Lord!
And the walls come tumbling down
Got no time, Joshua put the battle around Jericho
[C] Around Jericho, [F] around Jericho
Joshua put the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling [C] down
Down, [Am] down, tumbling [F] down
