Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
You could feel it cause it was the month of June
So I lef' my gate and went out for a walk
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I hear them say
How do dey sing when you heard dem sing?
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung

So I stopped to find out what was going on
How do you find when you make your stuff
For the spirit of Jah, you know he leads me on
Them all have a leaf at the dreadlocks' camp
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
I could feel the chill as I see and heard them say
How do dey sing when you heard dem sing

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
How does it feel when you've got no herb?
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
If you got no herb you will walk an' talk
So I lef' my gate and went out for a walk
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I hear them say
How do dey sing when you heard dem sing?

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side

Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side
It a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know

Overall Meaning

The song "Pass the Kutchie" by Anthony B (feat. The Mighty Diamonds) is a reggae classic that speaks about the importance of marijuana in Rastafarian culture. The term "kutchie" refers to a small pot used to smoke marijuana, and the song emphasizes the act of passing the "kutchie" to the left-hand side, a ritual performed by Rastafarians during group smoking sessions. The lyrics describe a scene where the singer is taking a walk in the month of June and comes across a group of Rastafarians smoking marijuana together. The group is led by the spirit of Jah, who is believed to be the God of Rastafarianism. The song suggests that the act of smoking marijuana brings the Rastafarian community together and helps to strengthen their bond with Jah.

The song's chorus, "Pass the kutchie pon the lef' hand side, it a go bun, it a go dung, Jah know," is a call to action for the Rastafarian community to come together and partake in marijuana smoking rituals. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song reinforces the importance of marijuana culture in Rastafarianism. In addition, the lyrics describe the feelings of euphoria and relaxation that come with smoking marijuana, as well as the necessity of the herb for the overall well-being of the Rastafarian community.
