Lyrics:

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-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, there we sat down

Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion

There 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?

There the wicked

Carried us away in captivity

Requiring of us a song

Now, how shall we sing the Lord's song

In a strange land?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

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

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, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)

There we sat down (you got to sing a song)

Yeah, we wept (sing a song of love)

When we remembered Zion (yeah-yeah-yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon (rough bits of Babylon)

There we sat down (you hear the people cry)

Yeah, we wept (they need their God)

When we remembered Zion (ooh, have the power)

Songwriter:

By the rivers of Babylon (oh, yeah-yeah-yeah)

There we sat down (yeah-yeah)

Yeah, we wept (by the rivers of Babylon)

When we remembered Zion
