Jericho Road Lyrics
by Steve Earle
intro: E F# G A D C
This riff is played during the verses:
Play along with the cd to get the rythm and timing
(i put were the D chord and C chord come in and on E start walkin' it again)
verse:
I was walkin' walkin' down jericho road
every mile that I traveled showed
and I was walkin' down jericho road
i just kept walkin' walkin' down jericho road
the sun burned red over fields of gold
and i was walkin' down jericho road
chorus:
joshua went to battle that's how the story goes
and the walls came tumblin' down i know
(back to verse riff)
but i'm still walkin' walkin' down jericho road
i met my mamma walkin' down jericho road
tears in eyes and her head hung low
and she's walkin' down jericho road
i met my papa walkin' down jericho road
back bent low from a heavy load
and he's walkin' down jericho road
chorus:
i said papa don't you know me
won't you lay your burden down
he just shook his head and said
son you better turn around
(BACK TO VERSE RIFF)
and he keep on walkin' walkin' down jericho road
i met my brother walkin' down jericho road
his hands were bloody but face was clean
and he's walkin' down jericho road
i met my sister walkin' down jericho road
a baby in her arms i had never seen
and they're walkin' down jericho road
she said its just and orphan child
i found along the way
i'll raise him and maybe he'll forgive us all someday
(back to verse riff)
for walkin' down jericho road
