(Chorus:)
|: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
[and] the walls came tumbling down :|
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.
Chorus
Up to the walls of Jericho
he marched with spear* in hand
Go, blow them horns, Joshua cried,
'cause the battle is in my hand.
Chorus
Then de lamb ram sheep horns began a blow,
and the trumpets began to sound
And Joshua commanded the children to shout,
and the walls came tumbling down.
Chorus
*Es gibt auch Fassungen, in denen er ein Schwert ("sword") in der Hand trägt; aber ich habe keine Lust, die hier alle einzeln aufzuführen - ihre Zahl ist Legion ;-)
