Píseň: Battle Of Jericho

Interpret:
Hugh Laurie
Album:
Let Them Talk
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin’ down


Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin’ down


You may talk about your bands of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
But you never saw nothing like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho


The sun stop shining in the middle of the day
The sky began the storm
The ram horns, the sheep horns began the blow
When the walls came tumblin’ down! 


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


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


Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin’ down


Well, the Bible said that Joshua’s spear
Was eightfold cubits long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn


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


Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin’ down


Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin’ down
