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 cap-ti-vi-ty
Required from us a song,
Now how shall we sing the lords song, in a strange land.

When the wicked carried us away in cap-ti-vi-ty
Requiring of us a song,
Now how shall we sing the lords song, in a strange land.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Let the words of our mouths, and the medi-tation of our heart
Be accept-able in thy sight, here to-night.

Let the words of our mouths, and the medi-tation of our hearts
Be accept-able in thy sight, here to-night.

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)
