Perhaps I am in a minority but have never really known what the song was about.
I read somewhere that a 'dutchie' is some sort of an oven or a cooking pot in Jamaica.
I wondered if song was about people on drugs?
Dutchie is not the original word in the lyrics (originally by the Mighty Diamonds). It replaced koutchie which is a marijuana pipe. The song really implies to pass the marijuana to the left while sitting in a circle to make sure everyone gets their turn.
