Joshua fit the battle of Jericho 杰里科之役
三十多年前有个美国百人合唱团访问中国,所唱的歌中就有这一首。当时他们还唱了几首中文歌:《半个月亮爬上来》以及根据范仲淹词所谱的曲《塞下秋来风景异》等。

这是英文歌词:
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down!
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may talk about your men of Saul
But there's none like good old Joshua
And the battle of Jericho!
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down!
Right up to the walls of Jericho
They marched with spear in hand
"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried
"Cause the battle is in my hand"
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down!
Then the lamb, ram
Sheep horns began to blow
And the trumpets began to sound
Joshua told the children to shout that morning
And the walls came tumbling down!
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down!
And the walls came tumbling down!
And the walls came tumbling down!
