about

A medley of two traditional spirituals, Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho and Go Down, Moses, both about the overcoming of adversity -and audacity in the face of oppression.

lyrics

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho x3
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
and the walls came a-tumblin' down

You can talk about the men of Gideon
You can brag about the men of Saul
But there's nothin like good ole Joshua
and the Battle of Jericho (that mornin)

Chorus
Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho x3
Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho
and the walls came a-tumblin' down

Good mornin, Sister Mary
Good mornin, Brother John
Well, I want to stop and talk with you,
want to tell you how it came along

Chorus

Go down, Moses
way down in Egypt's land,
Tell ole Pharaoh
to let my people go.

When Israel was in Egypt's land,
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go

Go down Moses,
way down in Egypt's land,
tell ole Pharaoh
to let my people go.

Up to the walls of Jericho
he marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram-horns, Joshua cried
cuz the battle is my hands (that mornin)

Chorus
Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho x3
Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho
and the walls came a-tumblin' down
