The Wailers
Duppy Conqueror (Alternate Version)
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again
Yes, me friend, me friend
Me de 'pon street again

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 bakka, let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror

[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them set me free again
Yes, me friend
Them turn me loose again
[Pre-Chorus]
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 bakka, let me tell you
I'm a duppy conqueror, hit it (conqueror)

[Chorus]
(Yes, me friend) me friend, me friend, me friend
Me de a street again
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again

[Verse 2]
Don't try to show off
Fi make you friend dem laugh, what a la-la
For I will cut you off
And I will take the last laugh
I'm cryin'

[Outro]
Yes me friend, me de a street again
Yes me friend, me friend, me friend, them set me loose again
