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
For there they that carried us
away in captivity
requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing
the Iord's song in a strange land
For there they that 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 meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in the sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouths
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in the 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
Ah...ah ah...ah
By the rivers of Babylon
there we sat down yeah
we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon......
