"Rivers Of Babylon"
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
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 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 (dark tears 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 (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry) ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
