  • I made my xbox gamertag and youtube name this but i put an "i" at the end of duppy just for the heck of it

  • This was one of the first Bob Marley Songs I ever heard. :)

  • Ahhh marley, set me free again

  • favourite song ever one love!!

  • get to tha choppa!!!!!!!!!

  • Jahoshua is the Lion of Judah, and he chases away evil spirits!

  • As they hurried along, with many glances back over their shoulders, Jubali's father said "I should whip yu so yu never forget what yu done tonight. An' so yu nah do it nah more. But i can see by yo face dat yu nah go vexin nah duppy ever again!". And Jubali, seeing their cabin ahead, with his mother standing anxiously in the doorway, felt he was the luckiest boy alive-just to be alive. DE END

  • his strong hands never loosening their grip on Jubali's shoulders. "A duppy, Papa," Jubali said when he could catch his breath. "It be tryin to touch me and kill me!" "Why it be chasin yu?" "At de graveyard......" Jubali began. But his father interrupted him. "Yu been spyin on dat duppy? Dun yu know dat vexes him?" He looked nervously around the clearing. "Gwan home, quick as yu can. In de mornin, yu haffi fetch de priest fi lay dat duppy to rest.".

  • 7. Something grabbed him roughly by his shirt collar and jerked him, screeching like a crazy gull, to his feet. He windmilled his arms, keeping his eyes tightly shut. He felt himself shaken fiercely by the shoulder while his father shouted, "Open yo eyes, bwai! And shut yo mout! What givin yu such fits?" Carefully, Jubali opened his eyes and looked around the starlit glade. They were alone; the forest was silent and dark. "Tell me what yu be doin here." his father said angrily,

  • PART 6 Then, trying to force his aching legs to go faster, he tripped. He tumbled forward into a puddle that soaked his clothes and filled his nose with a rotten smell. He heard a sound like a rushing wind coming down the path behind him, followed by another sound, as though a great fire was sizzling, and crisping the leaves on the trees. Too scared to move, Jubali buried his face in his arms and waited for the duppy to touch him, to burn him to ashes.

  • ....toward home. With only starlight to help him pick out the thread of the path, he stumbled often over roots and rocks. He did not dare look back, because he knew he would see the terrifying bubble of white light stained with shadows following him, getting closer. Light from behind made the path ahead easier to see; he knew that meant the deadly glowing thing had almost caught up with him. When he rounded a bend in the trail and saw that he was near home, Jubali began to scream for help.

  • It was lit by an unhealthy glow that seemed to seep out, rather than shine, from inside. The surface had a damp look to it. For a moment the slimy bubble hovered just above the grave. Then, as if it sensed the boy in hiding, it began to move toward the mango tree. The lower half of the bubble slid right through the stone and metal grave markers that dotted the hillside. Jubali knew that it was coming for him. He scrambled down from the tree and began running through the thick jungle ...

  • 5.

    He dozed a little, unaware for the most part that he had slept at all. Then, in the last hours before sunup, Jubali saw a huge bubble of white light squeeze out of the mounded earth of his aunt's grave. It made a wet, popping sound as it floated free of the ground. The moon had set, but it seemed to Jubali that the earth had given birth to a second moon. Inside the man-sized globe of light swam a lazy swirl of shadow, like a just-forming chicken in an egg held up to a candle.

  • 4. But as time slipped by and the night grew darker around him, Jubali remembered the warnings his parents had given him. He began to think he would be better off back in his bed. He was already risking a scolding and a spanking for leaving the house after dark. Now he began to be afraid of what else he might be risking, alone in the dark, spying on ghosts. NAH! he told himself, I COME DIS FAR, I AIN'T GWAN GIVE UP NOW. So he clung stubbornly to his perch as the night yawned toward morning

  • 3. In the moonlight-so bright it almost felt hot-the boy had no trouble picking out the trail that led from the shanty to the neighborhood cemetery. There he found he wasn't quite brave enough to set foot inside the graveyard. So he climbed a huge mango tree that overhung the rusty iron fence surrounding the burial ground. From here he had a clear view of his aunt's grave, halfway up the slope. He perched where several massive branches joined, to watch.

  • "It a bad ting to let a duppy stay 'mong Rasta folk.". Then she shook her finger at Jubali. "Any child dat ain't a foolish will keep in his bed wit de shutters close, til Obeah make dat duppy res' quiet fi all time." she warned him. Because he was a curious boy, Jubali quietly got out of bed on the third night after Albertine's funeral. While his parents slept in their little bedroom behind a heavy blanket that served as a door, Jubali stepped out into the warm night.

  • "...or if yu dun believe, bwai!". "It a ghost, but nah a ghost." his father said "every one have evil in him; but when he alive, his brain an' his heart control dat evil. After de spirit go away, dat evil part be left behind. If it dun have nothin fi keep it from doin whatever it want, it go out into de world, where it do terrible tings!". "So we get an Obeah mon fi put a spell on dat duppy an' keep it stayin de grave." his mother explained.

  • 2. Through the banana trees, mimboms, and palm fronds that grew all around the cemetary, the mourners now, and then got a glimpse of the distant roofs of Kingston. Before the funeral, Jubali overheard several of the neighbors saying that a duppy was sure to rise from the old woman's grave at cock crow on the third night after her burial. "What's dat duppy?" he asked his mother. "Someting you dun never want fi meet up wit." she told him. "Someting dat can tek hold o yu if yu nah careful.."

  • "THE DUPPY" Jubali Lescot was only 6 when his Aunt Albertine died. The old woman had been sharp-tongued, and quick to accuse the child of misdeeds-more often imagined than real. So the boy was more relieved than sorry. He was glad not to have her scolding him all the time, calling him "lazy" and "good fi not'in!". Albertine Lescot was buried in a small churchyard on a hillside near the shanty where she had lived with her brother and his family.

  • sorry about the typo,  Left out the "a" in Nesta.

  • Bob Nest Marley (Berhane Selassie) was the last prophet for our time.
