Force could not control me now

Wrongly abused, now 
But through the powers of the Most-'Igh, 
They've got to turn me loose, mm!

To cold me up (brr) 
On this (brr) bridge now 
I've got to reach Mount Zion

Let me tell you that 
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror 

Yes, me friend, me good friend,

(Brr) Don't try (brr) 
To cold me up on (brr) 
This (brr) bridge now 
I've got to reach Mount Zion 
The 'ighest region 
(Brr) 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,

Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend,

Fi make you friend dem laugh, what a la-la! 
For I will cut you off 
And I will have the last laugh

We deh a street again, yea-eah 
Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend, 
(Dem set me free again.) 
Oh-oh-ooh, yeah mm-mm
