By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
(Ye-eah) we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
(Ye-eah) we wept, when we remembered Zion
Let 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?
(Dark tears of Babylon)
(You got to sing a song)
(Sing a song of love)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
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 meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
(Ye-eah) we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
(Ye-eah) we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, (dark tears of Babylon)
Where we sat down, (you got to sing a song)
(Ye-eah) 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)
Where we sat down, (you hear the people cry)
(Ye-eah) we wept, (they need that?)
When we remember Zion, (oh, have the power). AK
