Lyrics

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

say, say,
Say I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through,
Oh, while I'm gone

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

No woman no cry
No woman no cry

I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry.
