By the Rivers of Babylon
(arr. by Evangeline)
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
For the wicked carr us away captivity
Require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land
So let the words of our mouth
And the Meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight over I

I am pretty sure this was the tune performed by Jimmy Buffett in 1992 . . .

part of the show in '92. I do believe that it led into "Why Don't We...." A
very religious experience indeed!

Anyone know for sure the origins of this song. It appears to be a
somewhat traditional reggea tune. I've seen it on many reggea and calypso
albums. Just wondering.

I'm pretty sure the "original" version of this song appeared on "The
Harder They Come" w/Jimmy Cliff; the song was performed on THTC by
The Melodians, and was written by Dowe and McNaughton, who I believe
were members of that group.
If you like Caribbean rhythms *at all*, then there is no excuse for not
owning "The Harder They Come" (it's a helluva movie, too). It is
probably the greatest reggae LP of all time, and I would argue that it
is one of the 10 best post-1960 albums of all pop music. I would even go
so far as to say that THTC is better than A1A, and that is no mean praise
indeed.

Scot,
The song comes off the soundtrack to The Harder They Come. It is
sung by The Melodions and written by B. Dowe/F. McNuaghton/Farian/Reyam.
The soundtrack has a lot of good tunes on it I would highly suggest it.
Hope that answers your question :-)

I seem to remember Lina Ronstadt doing it, too, on one of her late 70s
albums, though I don't recall which one specifically. A capella, too,
and quite well done. Can anyone refresh my memory here - especially who
was singing backup?

Well done by Ronstadt's standards, I guess. She only sings one chorus of
the song, not the whole thing.

J.D. Souther is one likely suspect; he and LR were hanging at this time,
and wrote several tracks on this album.

It's on Linda Ronstadt's album Hasten down the Wind, and was recorded in
'76. The vocals, in addition to Linda, was done by Kenny Edwards and Andrew
Gold. The album consists of - mainly - cover versions, no songs by Jimmy
Buffett though :-)
The song is copyright '72 by B.Dowe and S. McNaughton. The reference to
'The Harder They Come' and additional copyrightees (?) is probably due
to some changes in arrangements (and possibly lyrics?) etc. The Farian
mentioned in the copyrights is probably the manager of the disco group
BoneyM who did a version of the song sometime in the late seventies.
And while we're talking about cover songs, anyone got any got covers of
Jimmy Buffett songs? I know a good norwegian cover of Banana Republics,
but that is probably not of common interest...

I'd love to hear them both, but especially the former!
How did you acquire your Buffett-knowledge/parrotheadism -
grad school in the States?

Anders is right, and I was wrong; Hasten Down the Wind, not Prisoner
In Disguise, was the correct LR album (comes from working from memory,
rather than with vinyl-in-hand).

Hey Tristan... can we try that again? Thanks...

Could you post the list again. It seems that after the first five clubs
on the list, all hell broke loose and the letters rearranged themselves.

I hate to be picky, and intend no flame, but I need to correct a minor
injustice here. Buffett's version of "Banana Republics" is itself a cover.
The song was written and recorded by Steve Goodman, who also wrote "This
Hotel Room" and "Door Number Three"
I'm a big Goodman fan. He turns a good phrase, which has a lot to do with
why I like Buffett as well as John Prine, Delbert McClinton and authors
McGuane and McDonald. Like Chris Payne said in a post to me here a while
back, it's an "ever-growing list of how things I like are connected to
other things I like" I'd been "tripping" on the syncronicity for a couple
of years, but I hadn't phrased it so well.

Y'all forgot Steve Goodman's best songs, "Death of a Cub's Fan" and the
ever immortal "You Don't have to Call Me Darlin', Darlin'". If any of you PH's
out there haven't heard of him, check him out. Definitely one of the better
song writers out there IMHO. You'll laugh, you'll cry...you know the rest.

I hadn't forgotten "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" (Yes, they still play
the blues in Chicago -- When baseball season rolls around.) or "You Never
Even Call Me By Name," which was also recorded by David Allen Coe.
How about "Lincoln Park Pirates?" Now that's classic Goodman! Of course,
growing up in Chicago may have biased me...

I'm glad you're wrong too. :-} You'll find a couple of Goodman fans
hanging around this group. It's sort of up there with reading Travis McGee
I guess.
