JOSHUA

"Joshua fought the battle of Jericho"
 (Repeat)
 

 

   And the walls came tumbling down

You may talk about the men of Gideon

You may talk of the men of Saul

But there's none like good old Joshua

at the battle of Jericho, (that mornin')

Up to the walls of Jericho

They  marched with spears in hand

""Come blow them ram horns." Joshua said,

"Cause the battle is in our hands."

Then the The trumpets began to sound

lamb ram sheep horns began to blow

Joshua commanded the children to shout

And the walls came a tumblin'  down, (that mornin'.)

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,  Jericho,
Jericho

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho

And the walls came - tumbling down."



This old Negro spiritual is dedicated to Joshua that I met

4/26/18 at Panera's at Gratiot/23Mile., New Baltimore, Michigan.

Joshua and his Mother were waiting for her sandwich.  Joshua  (about 21/2) wanted to go.

I told Joshua that he was very handsome.  I told his Mother that you

could tell that he was very smart because his eyes were bright.

Etc., Etc.

Then Joshua climbed up on the bench and gave me a hug.

(His Mom told me that Joshua wasn't talking yet.)

That was the best hug  that I have received in a long time.
