By the waters of Babylon
There we sat down and wept
When we remembered, O Zion
We hanged our harps upon the willows
In the midst thereof
And they that carried us away
Required of us a song
And they that wasted us
Required of us mirth
Saying

Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion
Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion
Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion

Oh, if I forget, O Jerusalem
O tell me now
If I forget, O Jerusalem
Oh, if I forget, O Jerusalem
Let my right hand forget her cunning
If I forget, oh, if I forget
Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget
Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget
Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget
