Duppy Conqueror

Yes, me friend, me friend

Dem set me free again

Yes, me friend, me friend

Me deh 'pon street again

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, mmm

Don't try to cut me off 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

Yes, me friend, me good friend

Dem set me free again, mmm

Yes, me friend

Dem turn me loose again

Don't try to cut me off 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

(Yes, me friend) me friend, me friend, me friend

We deh a street again

Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend

Dem set me free again

Don't try to show off

Fi make your friend dem laugh

What a, la-la-la, for I will cut you off

And I will take the last straw

I'm cryin', yes, me friend

We deh a street again

Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend

Dem set me free again, ooh, yeah, mmm

The bard could not hold me

Force could not control me now
