Lyrics for Duppy Conqueror

Yes, me friend We de a street again Yes, me friend, me good friend Them say we're free again The bars could not hold me Force could not control me, now They try to keep me down But Jah put I around, yeah Yes, I've been accused, many a-times And wrongly abused now But through the powers of the Most High They've got to turn me loose, oh, oh, oh Don't try to gaud me up on this bridge, now I've got to reach Mount Zion The highest region So if you a bull-bucker Let me tell you this I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror, oh yeah Yes, me friend, me good friend We de a street again Yes, me friend, me good friend Them say we free again So don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now I've got to reach Mount Zion The highest region So if you a bull-bucker Let me tell you this I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror Yes, me friend Them say we're free again Yes, me friend, me good friend Them set de a street again, oh Yes, me friend We de a street again
