Duppy Conqueror Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            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!

            (Brrr)  Don't try (brrr) to cold me up (brrr) on this (brrr) bridge
               now.
            I've got to reach Mount Zion -
            The 'ighest region.
            (Brrr) 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.

            (Brrr)  Don't try (brrr) to cold me up on (brrr) this (brrr) bridge now.
            I've got to reach Mount Zion -
            The 'ighest region.
            (Brrr) 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 -
            /fadeout/
