no woman no cry

no woman no cry

no woman no cry

Say I remember when we used to sit

in the government yard in Trenchtown

Ob- observing all the hypocrites

as they'd mingle with the good people we met

Good friends we had and good friends we lost

along the way

in this bright future

you can forget your past

so dry your tears I say.

no woman no cry

no woman no cry

Hey little darling don't shed no tears

no woman no cry

I remember when we used to sit

in the government yard in Trenchtown

and then georgie would make a fire light

as it was love wood burning through the night

and we would cook wholemeal porridge

of which I'd share with you

my feet is my only carriage

so I've got to push on through

but while I'm gone (I mean it)

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

ev'rything's gonna be allright

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Oh my little sister don't shed no tears
