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 |
|
Requiring 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 meditation 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 remembered Zion |
|
(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 that all) |
|
When we remembered Zion |
|
(Ooh, have the power) |
