The Melodians - Rivers of Babylon lyrics

By the rivers of Babylon Where he sat down And there he wept When he remembered Zion Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land? Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land? Sing it out loud Sing a song of freedom, sister Sing a song of freedom, brother (sister) We gotta sing and shout it! We gotta jump and shout it! Shout the song of freedom now, oh So, let the words of our mouth And the meditation of our heart Be acceptable in Thy sight Oh, Fari So, let the words of our mouth And the meditation of our heart Be acceptable in Thy sight Oh, Fari Sing it again! We've got to sing it together Everyone (we've got to shout it together) La la la la la, oh By the rivers of Babylon Where he sat down And there he wept When he remembered Zion Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land? Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity Required from us a song How can we sing King Alpha's song In a strange land? Sing it, sing it, sing it See you got to sing it, brother You got to sing it, sing sisters, yeah
