[Lyrics]
You may talk about the kings of Gideon,
you may talk about the man of Saul,
there's none like good old Joshua
in the battle of Jericho.

Right up to the walls of Jericho,
he marched with spear in hand.
Go, blow that ram's horn, Joshua cried,
'cause the battle is in my hand.

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 tumblin' down.
