歌词：

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

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)
