Notes A funny bit of info is revealed about the recording of this song on the Sublime Acoustic : Bradley Nowell and Friends release.  We now get to hear Bradley forcing the audience to clap for them at the beginning of the song (to make them sound appreciated) and at the end, he cues them again with "Encore, encore, encore!".

 

"OK clappers."

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remebered Zion

For the wicked carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a strange land

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Over I

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remebered Zion

For the wicked carry us away
Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a strange land
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a strange land

"Encore, encore, encore."
