By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept when we remembered Zion
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Require 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
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon the waters of Babylon
There 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 by the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down You hear the people cry
Ye-eah we wept They need their God
When we remember Zion Ooh got the power
