By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down,
Yeaheah, we wept, When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down,
Yeaheah, 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
That 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
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 meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, Here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down,
Yeaheah, we wept,
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down,
Yeaheah, 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)
Yeaheah, 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)
Yeaheah, we wept, (they need their God)
When we remember Zion. (ooh, have the power)
By the rivers of Babylon, (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There we sat down... (yeah, yeah, yeah)
