An’ the walls come tumblin’ down.

You may talk about yo’ man of Saul:
Dere’s none like good ole Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.

An de walls come tumblin’ down!

Ref.: Joshua fight the battle of Jericho,
An’ the walls come tumblin’ down.
1. You can talk abput your men of Gideon,
you can talk about your men of Saul.
But there is no man like Joshua
at the battle of Jericho.
2. Up, up to the walls of Jericho,
he marched with spear in hand,
„Blow, blow them ramhorns“, Joshua cried
„because the battle is in my hands“.
3. Then the lam’ram-sheephorns began to blow,
and the trumpets began to sound,
and Joshua commanded the children to shout,
and the walls came tumbling down. |
