By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required 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
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Boney M beautifully narrated the ancient history that happened to the people of Israiel. It's not just a song but it is fact. I love to hear this song again and again.

My Mom had this on 8-track and I used to listen to it over & over again. I have not heard any of these songs for the past 31 years!
