By the rivers of Babylon where I sat down There I wept when I remembered Zion By the rivers of Babylon where I sat down There I wept when I remembered Zion There on the poplars I broke my guitar Because my tormentors required songs Songs of where I'm from, songs of where I'm from Oh, songs of Zion If I forget You, O Jah May both of my hands wither And may my mouth freeze If I forget how I felt at Your feet If I forget You, O Jah May both of my hands wither May my mouth freeze If I forget how I knelt at Your feet By the rivers of Babylon where I sat down There I wept when I remembered Zion By the rivers of Babylon where I sat down There I wept when I remembered Zion By the rivers, rivers of Babylon By the rivers, rivers of Babylon By the rivers, rivers of Babylon By the rivers, rivers of Babylon
