@philycheesesteak127 this version is bad ass

This song was written by Upsetters musician Glen Adams. The lyrics were inspired by a local tale of a duppy who was supposedly seen speeding around on a three-wheeled coffin with two "John Crows" (buzzards) on top, one of which would ask for "Mr. Brown". Glen was due to record it himself but Perry suggested that the Wailers record it. Peter Tosh & Glen added spooky organ riffs Glen regularly introduced this song at his gigs saying "I wrote this song for Bob Marley". Glen died in Dec. 2010 - RIP.

This is the only stereo made song, from the original Soul Revolution album. Song is an idea of Lee Perry. I guess the vampire, one hears is Lee Perry.
