Euphrates River
          	Hey I got a new lesson for you about ancient Mesopotamia
          	Euphrates River and the Tigris River formed the cradle of civilization
          	Acadians long ago conquered Sumer, took control
          	Sargon led his armies in chariots they roamed
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Persian Gulf's where they found
          	Ancient ruins underground
          	Archaeologists did lots excavation
          	Down by the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	Both the Euphrates River and the Tigris River used to flood
          	Bringing lots of fertile mud
          	But the problem was that water washed away the crops
          	Dams and levees made it stop
          	When it was dry they'd irrigate
          	Fighting over water led to war between the city states
          	Cuneiform is ancient writing
          	That tells the Sumer city states
          	Were always fighting
          	They were the first civilization
          	In Mesopotamia
          	Then came the Acadians
          	Who started empire-mania
          	Acadians long ago
          	Conquered Sumer, took control
          	Sargon led his armies, in chariots they roamed
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Persian Gulf's where they found
          	Ancient ruins underground
          	Archaeologists did lots excavation
          	Down by the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	By the Euphrates River
          	King Sargon got real old
          	Told his sons to take the throne
          	But the huge Acadian Empire
          	Would fall out of their control
          	Then came Hammurabi
          	Who would take full command
          	Hammurabi was the king of the Babylonians
          	Man, Babylonia was the land where they told ya
          	"You obey Hammurabi's code"
          	"Praise Hammurabi's code"
