By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he went

When he remembered Zion

Oh, from the wicked

Carry us away, captivity

Require from us a song

How can we sing King Alpha's song

In a strange land

So let the words of our mouth

And the meditations of our heart

Be acceptable in thy sight

Over I

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he went

When he remembered Zion

Oh, from the wicked

Carry us away, captivity

Require from us a song

How can we sing King Alpha's song

In a strange land

How can we sing King Alpha's song

In a strange land
