Rivers of babylon -- Boney M

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


When the wicked  Carried us away in captivity  Require 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 mouths and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight

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


Some of the lyrics came from Psalm 137 of The Bible. The original Psalm was written during the Jews exile in Babylon in around 600 BC                                       (songfacts.com)
