By the rivers of Babylon There by the poplars we hung up our harps and we sat and we wept By the rivers of Babylon We remembered Zion We remembered Zion Sing us a song of your home and native land Our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" How can we sing the Lord's song in this strange, strange land? But our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" Our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" May my right hand forget its skill May my tongue cling forever to the roof of my mouth If I don't consider you, Jerusalem, my highest joy If I someday fail to remember Zion If I someday fail to remember Zion Sing us a song of your home and native land Our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" How can we sing the Lord's song in this strange, strange land? But our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" Our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" On that day Jerusalem fell, remember them shouting "tear it all down" On that day Jerusalem fell, remember them shouting "tear it all down" Tear it all down - burn it all down - rip it all down to its foundations Tear it all down - tear it all down - tear it all down to its foundations Doomed to destruction, daughter Babylon Happy the man who repays you for all you have done to us Happy the man who ceases your children from their mother's arms Happy the man who dashes your children against the rocks Happy the man who dashes your children against the rocks Sing us a song of your home and native land Sing us one of those beautiful songs of Zion How can we sing the Lord's song in this strange, strange land But our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion" Our captors tell us "sing us songs of Zion"
