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
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
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
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 (ooh-ooh)
Requiring 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 meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
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
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, 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, 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

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
