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
________________________________________
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
(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)
ORIGINAL(S) ![ukulélé :uku:](https://ukulele-forum.fr/Smileys/aaron/ukulele.gif)
et à ne pas rater la fantastique version de Jimmy, surement la plus proche du traditionnel chant
Même les vieux brigands de Skatalites l'on mis à leur sauce...
Je ne vous ferez pas l’affront de vous mettre la version que tout le monde connais...
