    BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON

    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

    NO WOMEN NO CRY

    No, woman, no cry,


    No, woman, no cry,
    No, woman, no cry,
    No, woman, no cry.
    I remember when we used to sit
    In the government yard in Trenchtown,
    obaserving the 'ypocrites
    mingle with the good people we meet.
    Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
    Along the way.
    In this great future, you can't forget your past,
    So dry your tears, I seh.
    No, woman, no cry,
    No, woman, no cry,
    No, woman, no cry,
    No, woman, no cry.

    Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
    The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
    My Sunny one shines so sincere.
    Sunny one so true, I love you.

    Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.


    Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.

    Now I feel ten feet tall.
    Sunny one so true, I love you.

    MA BAKER

    She was the meanest cat


    In old Chicago town
    She was the meanest cat
    She really moved them down
    She had no heart at all
    No no no heart at all

    She was the meanest cat


    Oh she was really tough
    She left her husband flat
    He wasn't tough enough
    She took her boys along
    'cos they were mean and strong

    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons


    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

    They left a trail of crime


    Across the U. S. A.
    And when one boy was killed
    She really made them pay
    She had no heart at all
    No no no heart at all

    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons


    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she knew how to die
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry
    Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

    RASPUTIN

    There lived a certain man in Russia long ago


    He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
    Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
    But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
    He could preach the bible like a preacher
    Full of ecstasy and fire
    But he also was the kind of teacher
    Women would desire
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    They put some poison into his wine
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia's greatest love machine
    He drank it all and said, I feel fine
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    They didn't quit, they wanted his head
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia's greatest love machine
    And so they shot him 'til he was dead
