Tell your mama to run
That's what she's gonna do
When the big ol' guns
Open up on you
She can run all night
She can run all day
But soon her world will be blown
So far away
Tell your mama to cry
That's what she's gonna do
When the big ol' bombs
Open up on you
She can cry all night
She can cry all day
But soon her world will be blown
So far away
Oh, by the rivers of Babylon
Well you know that's where they laid it down
When they remembered Zion
And they carried us away
Into captivity
And required of us a song
How, how am I gonna sing this song?
How, how can I sing this song?
How am I gonna sing this song
In this strange land?
Tell your papa to cry
That's what he's gonna do
When Uncle Sam
Comes lookin for you
He can cry all night
He can cry all day
But soon his song will be blown
So far away
