By the Waters of Babylon
Brent Dowe, James A. McNaughton, George Reyam and Frank Farian

By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down,
And there we wept when we remember Zion.
Where the wicked carry us away captivity require of us a song;
How can we sing our holy song in a strange land.
Let he words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight over I.
