THE RIVERS OF BABYLON – BONEY M

REFREIN / CHORUS
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion

Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord song in a strange land?
Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord song in a strange land?

BRIDGE
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 heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, here tonight

REFREIN / CHORUS
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion (4x)
