God's Gonna Cut You Down

God's Gonna Cut You Down - Odetta

Well Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Around Jericho

Around Jericho

Well Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Jericho around Jericho

And Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

Good morning sister Mary

Good morning brother John

Well I want to stop and talk with you

And tell you how I come along

I know you've heard about Joshua

He was the son of nun

He never stopped his work until

Until the work was done

The god knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Around Jericho

Around Jericho

Well Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your men of Saul

There's none like good old Joshua

At the battle of Jericho

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

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Jericho around Jericho

Well Joshua fit battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

Yes you may talk about king of Gideon

You may brag about men of Saul

There none like Joshua

At the battle of Jericho

They tell me great god that Joshua was spear

Was well nigh twelve feet long do

And upon his hip was a double edged sword

And his mouth was a gospel horn

Yet bold and brave he stood

Salvation in his arms

Go blow them ram horns Joshua cried

'Cause the devil can't do you no harm

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Around Jericho

Around Jericho

Well Joshua fit battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

And now to the walls of Jericho

He marched with spear in hand

Do go blow them ram horns Joshua cried

'Cause the battle is in my hands

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow

The trumpets began to sound

Old Joshua shouted glory

And the walls came tumbling down

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Around Jericho

Around Jericho

Well Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

Down down down down

Tumbling down
