Lyrics for Rivers of Babylon by Boney M.

By the rivers of Babylon There we sat down Ye-eah, we wept When we remembered 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 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 Let the words of our mouth And the meditation 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 Ye-eah, we wept When we remembered Zion By the rivers of Babylon There we sat down Ye-eah, 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) Ye-eah we wept (Sing a song of love) When we remembered Zion (Yeah yeah yeah) By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon) There we sat down (You hear the people cry) Ye-eah, we wept (They need that all) When we remembered Zion (Ooh, have the power)
