No Woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we have lost along the way
In this great future, you can't forget
your past
So dry your tears, I seh
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burnin' thru the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge of which I'll
share with you
My feet is my only carriage and
so I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I seh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
