Jericho Road

I was walkin` Walkin` down the Jericho road And every mile that I traveled showed And I`m walkin` down the Jericho road I just kept on walkin` Walkin` down the Jericho road And the sun set red over fields of gold And I`m walkin` down the Jericho road Well Joshua fit the battle, that`s how the story goes And the walls come a-tumb-a-lin` down I know But I`m still walkin` Walkin` down the Jericho road I met my mother walkin` down the Jericho road Tears in her eyes and her head hung low And she was walkin` down the Jericho road I met my father walkin` down the Jericho road His back bent over from a heavy load And he was walkin`down the Jericho road I said "papa, don`t you know me? Won`t you lay your burden down?" He just shook his head and told me "son, you better turn around" And he kept on walkin` Walkin` down the Jericho road I met my brother walkin` down the Jericho road And his hands were bloody but his face was clean And he was walkin` down the Jericho road I met my sister walkin` down the Jericho road With a babe in her arms that I`d never seen And she was walkin` down the Jericho road She said "it`s just a little orphan child I found along the way I`ll raise him as my own and he`ll forgive us all someday" And she kept on walkin` Walkin` down the Jericho road I met my mother I met my father I met my brother I met my sister
