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 the government yard in Trenchtown Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way In this bright future you can't forget your past So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Little darlin' 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 light 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 So I've got to push on through But while I'm gone
Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright Ev'rything's gonna be alright
No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears No woman, no cry
