Rivers Of Babylon

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  
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  
  
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 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)  
When we remember zion. (ooh, have the power)
