By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land


Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight


Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight


By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.


By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (You got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
When we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (You hear the people cry)
Ye-eah we wept, (They need their God)
When we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible said,
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day.
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star,
they hear a choir sing a song,
the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas Day.

Oh a moment still worth was a glow,
all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter,
people shouted
"let everyone know,
there is hope for all to find peace".

Oh my Lord
You sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more
Oh my Lord
when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around him
To see him and adore
(This day will live forever)
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
They had become to doubt you
Oh my Lord (He is the truth forever)
What did they know about you
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
But they were lost without you
They needed you so bad
(His light is shining on us)
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
with the child's adoration
Oh my lord (He is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had
(until the sun falls from the sky)
Oh my Lord (Oh praise the Lord)
You sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord (This day will live forever)
Your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)

Ribbons of blue
Remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My Ol' ribbons of blue

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My Ol' ribbons of blue

Got me a ribbon
Bright blue ribbon for my head
Made me a promise
Now I know he didn't care
Touched by his first kiss
Fooled by his first song
The way he led me along
With my ribbons undone

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ear

(At this point, the song is over on the LP/CD...)

So I wanna send to you
My Ol' ribbons of blue

Sad for you baby
So bad for me baby Oohh
Hard on me baby
So far from me baby

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you
My Ol' ribbons of blue

She has six daughters and not one of them is married yet

And I'm sure you will adore Bahama Mama

and if a men refused that tempting scene
He simply can't make up his mind

Bahama Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

He was black and handsome
And might might brave
Comin' from the backwoods
The grandson of a slave
He was caught for something
They knew he'd never done
And was diggin' ditches
Out in the burnin' sun
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
Man he was a giant
And iron he could bend
And he swore he'd fight them
Down to the bitter end
Though he was no talker
His burnin' eyes would say
You may keep on tryin'
You can't hold me no way
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
Then one night he lay in waiting
Hit the guard and took the key
And before the others caught him
He jumped out and he was free
He jumped out and he was free
He made for the swamp lands
It seemed a hopeless duel
They had dogs and shotguns
And they were mighty cruel
But they couldn't find him
He was too smart and strong
Hiding' in the daytime
He wandered all night long
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More

He left on a boat
Just to follow a dream
He had to find.
You can't hold a man
When he follows a dream
That's on his mind.

I see a boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

I waited for him
Such a very long time,
Don't know what for
'cause i should have known
When he left on the boat
We'll meet no more.

I see a boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

Boat on the river.
You're bound for the sea,
If you should find him
Please greet him for me.

There were people who came
And said it's really a shame,
Why did he take off
To follow just a dream.
But i guess they were wrong,
In life you're sailing along
And things don't turn out
As simple as they seem.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

I see a boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to i can't say.

I see a boat on the river.
You're bound for the sea,
If you should find him
Please greet him for me.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
Down to................

My friend Jack eats sugar loaves
My friend Jack eats sugar loaves
Sugarman hasn't got a care
He's been traveling everywhere
Been on a voyage across an ocean
Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion
He's seen hawks fly high to hail the setting sun

My friend Jack eats sugar loaves
My friend Jack eats sugar loaves
Sugarman hasn't got a care
He's been traveling everywhere
He's seen the people in the city
And the bright lights looks awful pretty
He's followed dusty tracks into eternity
Eating sugar cain in Cuba
Try to grow it in Japan
On the west coast, he's real famous
Kids they call him Sugar Man

My friend Jack

My friend Jack eats sugar loaves
Sugarman hasn't got a care

Been on a voyage across an ocean
Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion
He's seen hawk fly high to hail the setting sun
Eating sugar cain in Cuba
Try to grow it in Japan
On the west coast, he's real famous
Kids they call him Sugar Man

Been on a voyage across an ocean
Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion
He's seen the hawk fly high to hail the setting sun

We are children of paradise
When the lord created us
All his work was through
Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do

Children of paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We're children of paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lines
Has changed our time

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With adam and eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

Children of paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We're children of paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With adam and eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

We are children of paradise
When the lord created us
All his work was through
Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn't do

Aaahhh...

We're children of paradise
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advice
We wandered astray

We're children of paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With adam and eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity...
