Joshua Fit the Battle Songtext
von Elvis Presley

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Around Jericho around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin′ down

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, around Jericho, around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

Good morning sister Mary
Good morning brother John
Well, I wanna stop and talk with you
Wanna tell you how I come along

I know you′ve heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done


God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried
"′Cause the battle is in my hands"

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your king of Saul
There′s none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho


They tell me, great God that Joshua's spear
Was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn

Yet bold and brave he stood
Salvation in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried
"′Cause the devil can't do you no harm"

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin′ down

Then up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried
"'Cause the battle is in my hands"

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted, "Glory"
And the walls come tumblin′ down

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls came tumblin' down, down, down, down, down, tumbling down
