REMEMBERING BONEY M.......

Boney M, started by Frank Farian in the 70s is still undoubtedly my favorite group. Right from "Baby do you wanna bump" they rocked the 70s and 80s with hits like "Brown girl in the ring," "Rasputin," "Rivers of Babylon," "Daddy cool," "Felicidad," "Belfast," "Ma Baker" etc. "Rivers of Babylon" became the second highest selling single of all time in the UK in 1978. What better time remembering this group than this when the first cricket test between India and the West Indies starts today. So here is "Rivers of Babylon" for today...........


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 lords song in a strange land

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lords 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 meditation of our hearts
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)
