By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeaheah we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeaheah we wept
When we remembered Zion
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Here tonight
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeaheah we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeaheah we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (Dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (You got to sing a song)
yeaheah we wept (Sing a song of love)
When we remember Zion. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (You hear the people cry)
Yeaheah we wept (They need their God)
When we remember Zion (Ooh, have the power)
