Don McLean song question

A very unusual request this morning. They (a church) is willing pay me 200 bucks to play one song during their 'program'. It is something Babylon by Don Mclean...? I never heard it or heard of it....I'll probally defer this one to a friend that may be more familiar with DM than I am...but 200 bucks to play one song is a good deal. Stupid me would probally do it for free since they are a church.

thanks. I'll search

Is this it:

(adaptation of Psalm 137)

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remember Zion

...etc

Heck I got Steve Earle doing that one. I thought it was some kinda classical music or something

I've got to hear this, if so many folks have covered it.

Psalm 137 is the prototypical Psalm of Lamentation. This is the time of year for it Leonard.
