Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho


A.K.A. "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho", "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho"
Rise Up Singing chapter: Spirituals, p.210

This comes from a bible story, which you can read here if you're interested: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%205:13%20-%206:27&version=31;

Chorus:
Dm - / A7 Dm ://
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Verses: Dm A7 / / Dm - / A7 Dm
You may talk about the men of Gideon
You may talk about the men of Saul
But there's none like good old Joshua
In the battle of Jericho

Up to the walls of Jericho
They marched with spears in hand
"Come blow them ram horns" Joshua said
"Cause the battle is in our hands"

The the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Joshua commanded the children to shout
And the walls came tumbling down
