Father Killam

Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy

A woman used to cook food sell
She used to get on so very well
All of a sudden she feeling sick
She say it's a duppy give her a lick
Miss Brown from next door says
Send fi Father Gillam from Vere
Gillam spread out a big white sheet
Plenty white rum and plenty goat meat

Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy

Gillam start with a little song
Di duppy come to him one by one
One of them could not hear
Because he have a quart of commandeer
But the woman was passing by
And saw di duppy on a shotta
Simmer like a knowing town
Amberin, amberin come down

Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy

Gillam lick him with a piece of stick
Di duppy clap him with a half a brick
Gillam bawl out "Oh Lord, mi head"
Duppy laugh till him nearly dead

Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
Why oh, you run come see
Father Gillam a catch duppy
