Lyrics
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho
Joshua successfully led the battle at Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down
Joshua's leadership caused the walls of Jericho to collapse
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho
Reiteration of Joshua's triumph at Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down
Restates the result of Joshua's battle, emphasizing the fallen walls
You may talk about the men of Gideon
Comparison to other biblical leaders like Gideon
You may talk about the men of Saul
Reference to the men led by Saul, another biblical figure
But there's none like the good old Joshua
Highlighting Joshua's exceptional leadership
At the battle of Jericho Hallelujah
Praising Joshua's role in the battle with a joyful exclamation
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Lawd Jericho
Repetition of Joshua's success at Jericho with added emphasis
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down
Reaffirmation of Joshua's role in the destruction of Jericho's walls
Up to the walls of Jericho
Describing the proximity to the walls of Jericho
Sword drawn in his hand
Depiction of Joshua armed with a sword
Go blow them horns cried Joshua cause the battle is in my hands Hallelujah
Joshua's command to blow the horns, signifying readiness for battle and divine intervention
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Lawd
Reiteration of Joshua's victory with added emphasis
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down
Restatement of the fall of Jericho's walls due to Joshua's leadership
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho Lawd
Repeated emphasis on Joshua's success in the battle
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down
Confirmation of the collapse of Jericho's walls due to Joshua's actions
And the walls came tumbling down
Final confirmation of the walls collapsing as a result of Joshua's actions
And the walls came tumbling down
Reaffirmation of the destruction of Jericho's walls
