"Rivers Of Babylon" lyrics
(originally by The Melodians)
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept, when he remembered Zion
Alpha the Wicked carried us away in captivity;
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh, 'Fari!
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept, when he remembered Zion
Alpha the Wicked carried us away in captivity;
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
Where he sat down
And there he wept, when he remembered Zion
Alpha the Wicked carried us away in captivity;
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh, 'Fari!
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept, when he remembered Zion
Alpha the Wicked carried us away in captivity;
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
