Lyrics
By the rivers of Babylon (hum hum hum hum hum)
When we sat down (hum hum hum hum hum)
There we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (hum hum hum hum hum)
When we sat down (hum hum hum hum hum)
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing and have a song in a strange land
'Cause the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing and have a song in a strange land
Rivers of Babylon (hum hum hum hum hum)
When we sat down (hum hum hum hum hum)
Yeah yeah we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (I'll sing a song brother)
When we sat down (sing a song of freedom)
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
