Lyrics

Jericho was a great city
Surrounded by a great wall
Jericho was a great city
Whose wall would never fall (so they say!)
There were houses on the wall
And chariots on it too
It was a mighty wall
Wide as an avenue

Joshua was a man of God, he was a warrior bold
Joshua was a man of God, he did as he was told
He saw that wall of Jericho and trembled at the sight
He never thought he'd see that wall fall in just one night

He marched his army around the wall
Once a day for six long days
The priests that blew the trumpets
Were dressed in bright array
On the seventh day they marched seven times around that city wall
And when they shouted as God had said
The saw that great wall fall!
(It's fallen, and it cant get up! Oh no, Jericho! Jericho!)

Oh, Jericho was a great city
Surrounded by a great wall
Jericho was a great city
Whose wall could never fall
Though there was no hope at all
'Til God told Josh what to do
That wall stood mighty tall
Until the trumpets blew

It fell to the ground, it made a mighty splat
It fell to the ground, it fell down flat
You know it fell to the ground, it made a mighty splat
It fell to the ground just like that.

Oh no, Jericho.
The wall of Jericho went boom!
