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......
