By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Yeah we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Yeah 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 they sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in they sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Yeah we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
Yeah 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
Yeah 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
Yeah we wept they need that
When we remember Zion ooh have the power
By the rivers of Babylon oh yeah yeah
There we sat down
