Yes, me friend, me friend

The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me now
They try to keep me down
But God put me around

Wrongly abused, now
But through the powers of the Most-'Igh
They've got to turn me loose
Mm!

(Brrr) Don't try (brrr)
To cold me up (brrr)
On this (brrr) bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
The 'ighest region

Let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror - conqueror

Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them set me free again, mm

To cold me up on (brrr)
This (brrr) bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
The 'ighest region
(Brrr) If you bull-bucka
Let me tell you
I'm a duppy conqueror - hit it! (conqueror)
