Rivers Of Babylon

(Psalm 137, Psalm 19:14)(The Harder They Come, 1972 movie)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

By the rivers of Babylon, (Euphrates river, its tributaries, Chebar river)

where we sat down,

there we wept,

when we remembered Zion (586 BC)

(repeat)

Then the wicked

requiring from us a song.

Now how shall we sing the Lord』s song,

in a strange land?

(repeat)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

and the meditations of our hearts,

be acceptable in Thy sight,

here tonight

(repeat)

By the rivers of Babylon

there we wept

when we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon, (YOU take the Babylon)

where we sat down, (YOU hear the people sing a song)

there we wept, (sing a song with love)

when we remembered Zion. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon, (YOU take the Babylon)

where we sat down, (YOU hear the people cry)

there we wept, (they need the power)

when we remembered Zion. (ohhhhhh, got the power)

By the rivers of Babylon, (oh yeah yeah …)

where we sat down, (yeah yeah …)

yeaheah we wept……
