African Herbsman Version
Yes me friend
Me friend
Them set me free again
Yes me friend
Me friend
Me deh our streets 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-high
They've got to turn me loose, hum...
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach mount zion
The highest region
If you are bull-bucker,
Let me tell you that
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!
Yes me friend
Me good friend
Them set me free again
Yes me friend
Them turn me loose again
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach mount zion
The highest region
If you are bull-bucker,
Let me tell you
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!
Yes me friend
Me friend, me friend, me friend
We deh our streets again
Yes me friend, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again
Don't try to show
You make you friend them laugh
Wa ta lala!
But I will cut you out
And I will take the last laugh
I'm crying
Yes me friend
Me deh our streets again
Yes me friend, me friend, me friend...
