Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

Rivers of Babylon

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remember Zion

It was the wicked

Carry us away captivity

Require from us a song

How can we sing King Alfa's song

In a strange land

... brothers

Sing your song of freedom

... sisters

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remember Zion

It was the wicked

Carry us away captivity

Require from us a song

How can we sing King Alfa's song

In a strange land

... my brother

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remember Zion

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remember Zion

By the rivers of Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remember Zion
