No Woman No Cry

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry

I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Ob-observing the hypocrites
As they would 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 said

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, 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
As it was logwood burning through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone, I mean
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
I said, everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright, now!
Everything gonna be alright!

So, woman, no cry
No, no, woman, woman, no cry
Oh my little sister, 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 the fire lights
As it was logwood burning through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Oh my little darling, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry

Eh (little darling, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry)
