Jericho Road

I was walkin'
 Walkin' down the Jericho road
 And every mile that I traveled showed
 And I'm walkin' down the Jericho road
 I just kept walkin'
 Walkin' down the Jericho road
 And the sun set red over fields of gold
 And I'm walkin' down the Jericho road
 Well Joshua fit the battle, that's how the story goes
 And the walls come a-tumb-a-lin' down I know
 But I'm still walkin'
 Walkin' down the Jericho road
 I met my mother walkin' down the Jericho road
 Tears in her eyes and her head hung low
 And she was walkin' down the Jericho road
 I met my father walkin' down the Jericho road
 His back bent over from a heavy load
 And he was walkin' down the Jericho road
 I said "Papa, don't you know me? Won't you lay your burden down?"
 He just shook his head and told me "Son, you better turn around"
 And he kept on walkin'
 Walkin' down the Jericho road
 I met my brother walkin' down the Jericho road
 And his hands were bloody but his face was clean
 And he was walkin' down the Jericho road
 I met my sister walkin' down the Jericho road
 With a babe in her arms that I'd never seen
 And she was walkin' down the Jericho road
 She said "It's just a little orphan child I found along the way
 I'll raise him as my own and he'll forgive us all someday"
 And she kept on walkin'
 Walkin' down the Jericho road
 I met my mother
 I met my father
 I met my brother
 I met my sister
