From Jerusalem to Jericho
Hank Williams

From Jerusalem to Jericho,
A long, lonely road
A certain man was set upon
And robbed of all his load.
They stripped him and they beat him
And they left him there for dead
Who was it then that came along
And bathed his achin’ head?

Chorus:
Tell me who, tell me who,
Tell me who was his neighbor kind and true?
From Jerusalem to Jericho
We’re travelin’ every day
And many are the fallen ones
That lie along the way.

From Jerusalem to Jericho
A certain priest came by
He heard the poor man callin’
But he did not heed his cry.
He drew his robes about him
And quickly walked away
Who was it then that came along
And ministered that day?

Chorus

From Jerusalem to Jericho
The wounded man did lay
Along came the Samaritan
Who was despised they say
He ministered unto the man
And then he took him in
He paid his fair and told the host
To take good care of him.

Chorus

From Jerusalem to Jericho
We’re travelin’ each day
And many are the fallen ones
That lie along the way
They seem despised, rejected
But no matter what they’ve been
When everyone cast them out
Then Jesus takes them in

Tell me who, tell me who,
Tell me who was his neighbor kind and true
From Jerusalem to Jericho
We’re travelin’ everyday
And many are the fallen ones
That lie along the way.
