Boney M. - Pure... '70s

Rivers of Babylon

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
There 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?
There 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?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

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

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept when we remembered Zion

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
Yeah, 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)
Yeah, we wept (they need their God)
When we remembered Zion (ooh, have the power)

By the rivers of Babylon (oh, yeah-yeah-yeah)
There we sat down (yeah-yeah)
Yeah, we wept (by the rivers of Babylon)
When we remembered Zion
