Lyrics

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)

By the rivers of babylon, (oh yeah yeah)
Where we sat down (yeah yeah)
Ye-eah we wept........
