No Woman No Cry

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
