By the waters of Babylon
We laid our lyres down
Laid our lyres down,
Sat and cried
By the waters of Babylon
We sang no sacred songs
Sang no sacred songs,
Tongues were tied
If I forget you Jerusalem
I’ll play no more again
Play no more again,
Not one more time
Won’t you show me Jerusalem
Razed and broken
Razed and broken,
Alone on high
By the waters of Babylon
We laid our lyres down
Laid our lyres down,
A long long time
