Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again
Yes, me friend, me friend
Me deh pon street again
[Verse 2]
The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me now
They try to keep me down
But God put me around
Yes, I've been accused
Wrongly abused now
But through the powers of the most high
They've got to turn me loose
[Verse 3]
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion, the highest region
If you a bull-bucka, let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror
[Verse 4]
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them set me free again
Yes, me friend
Them turn me loose again
[Verse 5]
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge now
I've got to reach Mount Zion, the highest region
If you a bull-bucka, let me tell you
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror
[Verse 6]
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend
We deh a street again
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again
[Verse 7]
Don't try to show off
Fi make your friend dem laugh
What a la-la
For I will cut you off
And I will take the last straw
I'm cryin'
[Verse 8]
Yes, me friend
We deh a street again
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend
Them set me (Free again)
[Verse 9]
(Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend)
(Them set me free again)
(Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend)
(Them set me free again)
(Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend)
(Them set me free again)
