"Boogie Woogie" lyrics - MARTY STUART

Well joshua was a holy man
A charismatic leader of a backwoods band
A real righteous rocking rolling cat supreme
Called to shine the light on moses' dream
Stranded out in egypt land
For 40 years stuck in sand
Where everybody's wheels were turning slow
Here comes the story of the jericho

[Chorus:]
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
God said joshua, go cat go
Boogie woogie down the jericho road

Well an angel appeared with a tremelo sword
On divine appointment from the lord of lords
First thing he said was, joshua with the shoes
You're on holy ground, ain't that good news
From almighty god - the one you thanked
When he split the waters at jordan's banks
So you could step on into his perfect plan
And walk all the way to the promised land

[Chorus:]
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
Hurry up boy don't be slow
Boogie woogie down the jericho road

Well the same holy ghost, no more, no less
That led that wandering tribe through the wilderness
Filled jericho city with glittering sparks
Put the power on the people, lit a fire in the hearts
Don't you know it was a sight to see
Joshua leading god's army
6 times 1 they marched around
But on the 7th day the walls came down
When the dust settled on that gospel blast
The promised land appeared at last

[Chorus:]
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
Come on josh, you've got miles to go
Boogie woogie down the jericho road
