C F G F
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
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
Am                    C
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
                         Am                       
I've got to reach mount zion -
      C
The highest region
Am        
So if you're a bull-bucker,
C                      G
Let me tell you this -

I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!
C F G F
Yes me friend (me good friend)
We de a street again
Yes me friend (me good friend)
Them say we're free again
Am                        
So don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
Am
I've got to reach mount zion -
C
The highest region

So if you're a bull-bucker,
                        G
Let me tell you this -
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!

Yes me friend
Them say we're free again, oh, oh yeah!
