Refrain
Joshua fight de battle ob Jerico,
Jerico, Jerico,
Joshua fight de battle ob Jerico,
An' de walls come tumblin' down.

Up to de walls ob Jerico,
He march'd with spear in han'
"Go blow dem ram horns" Joshua cried
"Kase de battle is in my han'"

Refrain

Den de lam ram sheep horns begin to blow,
trumpets begin to sound
Joshua commanded de children to shout
An' de walls come tumblin' down.
