[version on "The Harder They Come" is by the Melodians]
One of my favorite reggae tunes of all times. Simple and sweet, spiritually uplifting...just the recipe to cure any rainy day (the album in its entirety is quite a masterpiece in its own right).

Rivers of Babylon
(Brent Dowe & Trevor McNaughton)
1:
By the rivers of Babylon, where he sat down,
and there he wept when he remembered Zion.
Oh, the wicked carry us away captivity,
require from us a song,
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
(1)
2:
So, let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in Thy sight.
Oh, verai!
(1)

(first verse: also sung as "the Lord's song")
