There's a bunch of Babylonians
Coming after me
I don't want them to catch me (not at all)
They will devour me

Babylonians, Babylonians
Babylonians, Babylonians
Babylonians, Babylonians
Babylonians, Babylonians

Come with your hatchet, your pistol and your shotgun
You just won't capture me (not at all)
No matter how you try, no matter how you lie on me
You just won't see me no more

Because I've crossed the river Jordan
Tell you, I've crossed the river Jordan

Oh-oh-oh-oh, tell you 'bout it, oh Lord
Say, you see no more
Won't capture me (not at all, not at all)

Come with your hatchet, your pistol and your shotgun
You just won't capture me (that's what I say)
No matter how you try, no matter how you lie on me
You just won't see me no more

Because I've crossed the river Jordan
Tell you, I've crossed the river Jordan

So no, Babylonians, you won't see me no more
I say no, Babylonians, you won't capture me
I am going on away, you won't see me again
Tell me, Babylonians, why you want to capture me?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, back to our land
To never see again
