By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
Ye- eah we wept when we remembered Zion 
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
Ye- eah we wept when we remembered Zion 
Oh let the wicked 
Carried us away in captivity 
Required in of us a song 
For how can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land 
Let the wicked 
Carried us away in captivity 
Requiring of 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 where we sat down 
Ye- eah we wept when we remembered Zion 
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
Ye- eah we wept when we remembered Zion 
By the rivers of Babylon 
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
By the rivers of Babylon 
Ye- eah we wept 
By the rivers of Babylon 
When we remembered Zion 
By the rivers of Babylon 
By the rivers of Babylon 
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
By the rivers of Babylon 
Ye- eah we wept 
By the rivers of Babylon 
When we remembered Zion 
By the rivers of Babylon 
By the rivers of Babylon 
By the rivers of Babylon where we sat down 
By the rivers of Babylon 
Ye- eah we wept
