By the rivers of Babylon
When he sat down
There we wept
When he remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
When we sat down
And there we wept
When he remembered Zion
Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing an Alpha's song
In a strange land?
Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing an Alpha's song
In a strange land?
Rock of Babylon
When we sat down
Yeah yeah we wept
When he remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (Oh sing a song right now)
When he sat down (Sing a song of freedom)
And there we wept
When he remembered Zion
