Neville Brothers - Rivers of Babylon lyrics

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 When 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 When 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 Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart 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, 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 remember Zion. (Yeah yeah 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 power) When we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
