On The Road To Jericho |
| I left Jerusalem last week for Jericho |
| In the afternoon, the sun was getting low |
| And then the bushes shook, and out they came at me |
| They were robbing me, half-naked, while they beat me head to toe |
| And they left me on the road to Jericho |
| Lying almost slain, and wounded by the road |
| Crying out in pain for a sympathetic soul |
| First a priest, and then another of my kind |
| Well, they were men I could have trusted, but they acted deaf and blind |
| They were strangers on the road to Jericho |
| Oh, Jericho |
| Jericho |
| Oh, Jericho |
| Oh, Jericho |
| Through the blood and tears, I saw a worried face |
| He was from Samaria, my people hate his race |
| He bandaged up my wounds and he laid me on his horse |
| Although my memory is cloudy, I can still feel his friendly flow |
| Such a kind man on the road to Jericho |
| Jericho |
| When I later asked the innkeeper the man’s name he did not know |
| Just a neighbor on the road to Jericho |
| Jericho |
| Jericho |
| Oh, oh, oh, oh |
| Jericho |
| No, oh, oh, oh |
| Jericho |
