A tune by this name was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from the playing of Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940's. Arkansas fiddler Violet Hensley’s family played a tune called “[[Jericho]]” in the same cross-tuning, and Mark Wilson suggests both are versions of a common ancestor. | A tune by this name was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from the playing of Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940's.

WALLS OF JERICHO [1]. AKA and see "Drunken Hiccups (1)," "Frosty Morning (3)," "Rye Whiskey (1)." American, Listening Piece (3/4 time). USA; southwestern Va., western North Carolina. A Major. AEac# tuning (fiddle). AABB'. According to Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1976) the sections of the tune were considered by source fiddler Munsey Gaultney ( b. 1906) [1] to represent scenes from Joshua's struggle at the walls of Jericho. Gaultney's piece has broad similarties to "Jack of Diamonds (3)," although it is a different tune. Sam McNiel of the Floyd County Ramblers also had a piece by this title in the same AEac# cross-tuning; a similar, but distinct tune.
A tune by this name was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from the playing of Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940's. Arkansas fiddler Violet Hensley’s family played a tune called “Jericho” in the same cross-tuning, and Mark Wilson suggests both are versions of a common ancestor.
