Duppy Conqueror Lyrics

Oh, oh, op-bo, bo, bo-bo-bo!
Oh, oh, op-bo, bo, bo-bo-bo!

Yes, me friend, me friend,
Them 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-'igh,
They've got to turn me loose... mm!

Don't try to cold me up
On this bridge now
I've got to reach mount zion
The 'ighest region
If you bull-bucka,
Let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror

Yes, me friend, me good friend,
Them set me free again, mm
Yes, me friend,
Them turn me loose again
Don't try (bto cold me up on
This bridge now
I've got to reach mount zion
The highest region
If you bull-bucka,
Let me tell you
I'm a duppy conqueror
Hit it! (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
Dem set me free again

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 straw
I'm cryin'! yes, me friend
We deh a street again, yea-eah
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend,
(dem set me free again.)
Oo-oo-ooh, yea-eah, mm-mm
Bars could not hold me
