No Woman, No Cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba-observing the hypocrites

As they mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have had

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

And no, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

Little darling, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights, I say

A logwood burning through the nights, yeah

Then we would cook corn meal 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

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

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, I say

A logwood burning through the nights, yeah

Then we would cook corn meal 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, said don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Yeah

My little darling, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Little sister, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry
