Joshua fit de battle ob Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,

Joshua fit de battle ob Jericho

And de walls come tumblin’ down.

You may talk about yo’ king ob Gideon, you may

Talk about yo’ man ob Saul, dere’s none like good

Ol’ Joshua, at de battle ob Jericho.

Up to de walls ob Jericho, He march’d wid spear in han’

"Go blow dem ram horns," Joshua cried

"Kase de battle am in my han."

Den de lam’ ram sheep horns begin to blow

De trumpets begin to soun,"Joshua commanded

De chillem to shout, an’ de walls come tumblin’ down

Dat mornin’ Joshua fit de battle ob Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
