Yes, me friend, me friend
Them set me free again
Yes, me friend, me friend
Me deh 'pon street 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-'Igh
They've got to turn me loose...Mm!
(Brrr) Don't try (brrr)
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
Yes, me friend

To cold me up on (brrr)
