文本歌词

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
Like 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
Like 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
Dark tears of babylon
You got to sing a song
Sing a song of love
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in the sight
Here tonight
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in the 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
