The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me now
They try to keep me down,
But God put me around

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

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,

Yes, me friend, me friend, me friend,
(Dem set me free again.)
Oo-oo-ooh, yea-eah. Mm-mm
