Rivers of Babylon

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

There 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?

There 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?

Let the words of our mouth

And the meditation of our heart

Be acceptable in thy 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
