This song was originally released in 1970, in a single (with one of its versions, “Zig Zag”, on the b-side) launched by Lee Perry’s Upsetter records:
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend
We de a street again
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them say we free again
[Verse 1]
The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me, now
They try to keep me down
But Jah put I around
Yes, I've been accused, many a times
And wrongly abused now
But through the powers of the Most High
They've got to turn me loose
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
The highest region
If you a bull-bucker
Let me tell you this
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend, me good friend
We de a street again
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them say we free again
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach Mount Zion
The highest region
So if you a bull-bucker
Let me tell you this
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror
[Chorus]
Yes, me friend
Them say we're free again
Yes, me friend, me good friend
Them set de a street again
