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!

To cold me up (brrr)
On this (brrr) bridge now
I´ve got to reach Mount Zion
The ´ighest region

Yes, me friend, me good friend

Them set me free again, mm

Let me tell you
I´m a duppy conqueror - hit it! (conqueror)
