By the Rivers of Babylon

By the waters, the waters of Babylon

We lay down and wept, and wept, for thee Zion

We remember thee, remember thee 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

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Let the words of our mouth 
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight 
here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon, 
there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, 
when we remembered Zion
