By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
And there we wept
when we remembered Zion

But the wicked
carried us away in Captivity
Required from us a song
Now how can 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

By the rivers of Babylon
You've got tears of Babylon
There we sat down
You've got to sing a song
And there we wept
Sing a song with love
when we remembered Zion
Yeah Yeah Yeah
