Roast Fish and Cornbread

The closing track and title song of the 1978 album.
Lee "Scratch" Perry, from Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread (1978)

It is the album's closing track at 3:47. A reissue listing credits the writing to Universal and Island Music rather than to Perry, and we could not identify the original song. Greene of AllMusic is relayed as praising the title track's dread atmosphere, and Frere-Jones singled it out. We found no chart history, video, setlist count, covers or samples, and the upload is titled Roast Fish Collie Weed and Corn Bread, so we do not know which version it is.
