No Woman, No Cry

No woman no cry,

No woman no cry.

No woman no cry,

No woman no cry.

Say I remember, when we used to sit,

In the government yard in Trenchtown.

Observing the hypocrites,

As they would, mingle with the good people we met.

Good friends we had, and good friends we lost,

Along the way.

In this bright future, you can forget your past,

So dry your tears I say And,

No woman no cry,

No woman no cry.

Hey little darling, don’t shed no tears,

No woman no cry.

Say I remember, when we used to sit,

In the government yard in Trenchtown.

And then Georgie, would make a fire light,

As it was, love wood burning through the night.

And we would cook, wholemeal 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’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright,

Everything’s going to be alright.

So woman no cry,

No woman no cry.

Oh my little sister, don’t shed no tears,

No woman no cry.
