Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho

Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
an old African-American spiritual based on the story of Joshua in the Bible. ‘Fit’ represents a way of saying ‘fought’. The song tells how Joshua captured the city of Jericho when he ordered the Israelites to blow trumpets until the walls fell down. It begins:
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho;
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumbling down.
