Lyrics:

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

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

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

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

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

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
there we sat down (You got to sing a song)
ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
when we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry)
ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

    I'm 47. From a folder tucked far away in the back of my memory this wonderful song played for a split second in my mind. I found it immediately on YT. And in the past week I've listened to it at least 20 times. Truly timeless.

    "How can we sing the lords song in a strange land" gives me goosebumps

    Psalm 137 is forever!!! Boney M presented it perfectly!

    I am at home with all my cats and my two big sweet dogs, listening to this masterpiece as i clsoe my eyes and ask for guidance and forgiveness... God, Almighty, have mercy on all human kind.

    This was way ahead of its time. Boney M deserves much more recognition

    Lord, what a song. Crystal clear voices, rhythm, great musicians, all praising I Am.

    To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

    Never get tired of their music. I’m 80 years old, and still love these people and their music.

    We Don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry. A true classic never goes out of style.

    Brings back great memories when my wife and I were down in Jamaica in 1978.
