130 - RIVERS OF BABYLON (Boney M / Melodians)

 

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,

yea-yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

yea-yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

 

By 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?

 

By the wicked,

carried us away in captivity,

required of us a song;

Now how shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

 

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts, 

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, (Rough bits of Babylon) 

there we sat down, (You hear people cry)

yea-yea, we wept, (They need their God) 

when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power) 

 

By the rivers of Babylon, (Ooh, Yea, Yea, Yea,) 

there we sat down, (Yea, Yea, Yea,)    

yea-yea, we wept, (Dark tears of Babylon)          

when we remember Zion. (You got to sing a song) 

 

By the rivers of Babylon, (Sing a song of love) 

there we sat down, (Ooh, Yea, Yea, Yea,) 

yea-yea, we wept,  (Yea, Yea, Yea,) 

when we remember  Zion.
