Boney M. - Rivers of Babylon lyrics

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

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?

When 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?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let the words of our mouth and
The meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and
The meditation of our hearts
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

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, yeah, yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon
(Rough bit's 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)

By the rivers of Babylon (Oh yeah yeah)
There we set down (Oh yeah yeah)
Yeah we wept (Dark tears of Babylon)
When we remembered Zion
(Ooh, yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon
